Ship Petri pulpit

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The pulpit as a little ship Petri in the parish church Fischlham with a Latin slogan "At your word I will throw out the net"

In the visual arts, the ship Petri pulpit is a pulpit - the traditional place of preaching in a Christian church - that depicts the fishing boat of the Apostle Peter .

Biblical background

The design refers to the miracle of Jesus of the miraculous fishing ( Lk 5,1–11  EU and Joh 21,3–6  EU ). In the boat, Jesus and the disciples Peter , James and John are usually shown. The sermon delivered from the pulpit is thus interpreted as "casting a net" along the lines of the "fisherman" Peter and all the apostles.
