| About our
Patron Saint - St. Andrew Brother of St. Peter and one of the twelve apostles.
Crucially it was he who led Peter to Jesus: ‘We have found
the Messiah’ he told Peter. He was a fisherman before Jesus
called him to become a ‘fisher of men’. He came from
Bethsaida in Galilee and was eventually martyred in Greece
where he was crucified on a saltire (X-shaped) cross. It was
this which led to the saltire becoming adopted as an emblem
on the Scottish flag after St. Andrew was made the country’s
patron saint. It is thought that he preached the Gospel in
Asia Minor and Greece, and possibly even in Russia and
Poland, after Jesus’ resurrection.
In our church there is a wooden carving of St Andrew being
crucified on saltire (X-shaped) cross. |
