Piff	St. Peter's shoes -- what are they? (83* d)	Origins: St Peter's Shoes	03 Nov 11
Does anyone know the significance of the expression "St Peter's Shoes" which crops up in folk songs from time to time? Examples that conme to mind occur in the traditional "Martin siad to his man" and also in Cyril Tawney's "Grey Funnell line". I have the impression from the context that it might have something to do with the moon, but what? And why?
