One of the twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ. He was a native of Bethsaida, the son of Jona and brother of Simon Peter. He was a disciple of Saint John the Baptist, but followed Our Lord and became one of the first disciples
(John 1:40).

Afterwords he took his brother Simon to Him. They were with Christ at Cana but then returned to their occupation as fisherman. While they were so engaged, Our Lord called to them to become fishers of humanity, and they left everything and became His constant attendants (Matt 4:19-20)

It was Saint Andrew who gave Christ the five loaves and two fishes with which He fed the multitude (John 6:9). He appeared also as introducing some Gentiles brought by Saint Philip, and asking when the destruction of the Temple was to take place (John 12:22)
---
Eusebius, the earliest historian of the Church, says he preached in Scythia. Others say that he preached also in Greece and was crucified in Achaia. According to Church Tradition: St. Andrew was crucified on a cross shaped like the letter X. He is the patron Saint of Russia, Greece, and of Scotland.
