St Andrew (Y4)

     Class Teacher: Mr Douglass Mr Paul Douglass, St Christopher (Y6)   Teaching Assistant: Mrs Byrne 

St Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland, whose saint's day is celebrated annually on 30 November.

Andrew was one of the original 12 apostles of Christ, and the brother of another apostle, Simon Peter. Both lived and worked as fishermen in Galilee. Very little else is known about Andrew's life.

He is said to have travelled to Greece to preach Christianity, where he was crucified at Patras on an X-shaped cross. This is represented by the diagonal cross, or 'saltire', on Scotland's flag.

Andrew's connection with Scotland relates to the legend that some of his remains were kept at the site that is now the town of St Andrews. A chapel was built to house the remains and became a place of pilgrimage.

St Andrew is also the patron saint of Greece and Russia.
