Peter's Pence is a phrase that has been used for centuries to refer to the annual donation made by Roman Catholics to support the pope's charitable activities. This phrase is also known by other names such as "papal tribute," "Holy See tax," and "oblation to St. Peter." Some other synonyms for Peter's Pence include "Peter's offering," "Peter's alms," and "Peter's contribution." Each of these terms emphasizes the religious significance of the donation and the connection to the apostle Peter, who is considered by Catholics to be the first pope. Despite the different names used for the donation, the purpose remains the same - to support the charitable works of the Catholic Church and assist those in need.
