St Andrew the Apostle

St Andrew was a fisherman when he became one of the 12 disciples and was present with Jesus at the feeding of the Five Thousand. There, Andrew asked a boy who wished to share his share his 2 fishes and 5 bread loaves with Jesus who managed to feed those there with the small food amount.
Following Jesus' crucifixion, resurrection and ascension into Heaven, Andrew preached Christianity in what is now modern day Poland, Russia and Greece where he was crucified on an X-shaped cross called a Saltire. He chose such cross as he thought he was unworthy of being crucified on a vertical or Latin cross like Jesus.
Many years after his death, a monk named Regulus or Rule was visited by an angel while watching over Andrew's bones where he was instructed to take the relics far west. After a long and arduous journey, Rule was shipwrecked on the east coast of Scotland. The town of St Andrew's stands close to the shipwreck site. St Andrew only became patron saint of Scotland when he appeared on a dream to the Scottish king Angus the second and promised him. victory in an upcoming battle. On the day of the battle, an X symbol appeared in the sky and King Angus vowed that if he won, St Andrew would made Scotland's patron saint. As the saltire is on the Scottish flag, it's very easy to tell who won that day. St Andrew's feast day is on 30 November.
