Saint Andrew

Saint Andrew is St. Peter's brother. 

“As [Jesus] was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is now called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; they were fishermen. He said to them, ‘Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.’ At once they left their nets and followed him” (Matthew 4:18-20).

The first words we hear Jesus speak in the Gospel of John are spoken to St. Andrew: “Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, ‘What are you looking for?’ They said to him, ‘Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are you staying?’ He said to them, ‘Come, and you will see.’ So they went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day” (John 1:38-39a).

Little else is said about St. Andrew in the Gospels.  Legend has it that Andrew preached in what is now modern Greece and Turkey and was crucified at Patras on an X-shaped cross.

St. Andrew is the patron saint of Fishermen, singers, Scotland, Romania, Russia, Ukraine and Patras.  His feast day is November 30.
