Saint Andrew the First-Called

Saint Andrew the First-Called Saint Andrew the First-Called, also known as Andrew the Apostle, is one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ and the brother of Saint Peter. He is called the "First-Called" because he was the first disciple to be called by Jesus to follow Him. In Orthodox Christian tradition, Saint Andrew is highly venerated and considered the patron saint of several countries, including Russia, Scotland, and Greece. He is often depicted in icons holding a cross, symbolizing his martyrdom by crucifixion. Icons of Saint Andrew typically show him with a long beard and wearing a tunic and cloak. He is often shown with a scroll in his hand, representing his role as a preacher of the Gospel. Orthodox Christians honor Saint Andrew on his feast day, which is celebrated on November 30th. He is remembered for his faithfulness to Christ, his missionary work, and his ultimate sacrifice for the sake of the Gospel. May we follow his example of dedication and devotion to our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
