Andrew Feast Day Nov 30th.
Andrew was first of
all a follower of John the Baptist who was preaching near the Dead Sea when
Jesus passed by. John The Baptist told Andrew and John
to follow Jesus. There aren't many lines in the Gospel about Andrew and he was
content to be in the background while his brother Peter had a high profile.
However be brought the good news to the Scythians who lived to the north of the
Black Sea. He was put to death as a martyr in Patras which is in modern day
Greece. According to tradition he was martyred on the X shaped cross. St.
Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland whose national emblem is the X shaped
cross. He is also the patron saint of Russia.
