Cock weather vanes tied to St Peter legend in church steeples
A papal decree in the 9th century set a cock figure on church steeples as the emblem of St Peter. The cock recalls Peter’s denial of Christ before the cock crowed. Also noted is a 1,400-pound cheese gift to President Andrew Jackson, four feet across and two feet thick.
