Saint Andrew the Apostle

I was a fisherman, born in Bethsaida, in the Holy Land. I first learned about Jesus from the preaching of John the Baptist. He told us that someone greater than he was coming. My brother Simon and I became Jesus’ first disciples. Nothing brought me more joy than helping people to meet and believe in Jesus. After Pentecost, the Holy Spirit helped us continue to bring people to Christ. My testimony convinced many people to ask for baptism. I preached even in Greece, Bulgaria, and Russia. Like our Lord, I was crucified, but my cross was in the shape of an X.
