One of the most revered works of art in the Romish church’s most famous house of worship is the
Throne of Saint Peter. Parishioners seated in the pews face directly at the wall holding this ornate
throne over which is a glorious sunburst design. It should be noted that the throne is empty. There
is no image of Peter sitting in this throne, a fact belying its true meaning. The only object
“enthroned” here is the glorious Sun which sits just above the throne. This image of the Sun is the
equivalent of the statue of Sol Invictus which Emperor Constantine drew attention to with his
magnificent arch.

Inside Saint Peter’s Basilica we can see that a similar layout greets those who walk down the main
aisle of this temple. In the place of the Arch of Constantine we see the Baldacchino perfectly framing
the image of the Sun between its massive columns. Just as there are images of Sol Invictus on
Constantine’s Arch, there are images of the Sun carved into the Baldacchino.

The photo above shows one of many sunburst images adorning the Baldacchino. A wider view also
shows the golden orb above the Baldacchino and the many images of honey bees which were
associated with various gods and goddesses, including Apollo, the Roman Sun god. The Priestess
of Delphi where Apollo was worshiped was referred to as a bee.
