Keys of the Church

Description

In Matthew 16, Christ gave Peter the keys of the kingdom of Heaven. These are typically depicted as a pair of gold and silver keys crossed over each other.

Combined with an inverted cross, it forms the coat of arms of St. Peter.

The keys also prominently feature on the emblem of the Vatican, for somewhat obvious reasons.
