St. Andrew the Apostle
St. Andrew was one of the twelve Apostles chosen by Jesus. He was brother of Simon Peter, born in Bethsaida of Galilee, both of whom were fishermen. From St. John’s Gospel we learn that Andrew was a disciple of St. John the Baptist, whose testimony led him and St. John, the beloved disciple, to follow the Savior.
Andrew immediately recognized Jesus as the Messiah, and hastened to introduce to Him his brother Peter, who eventually was to be the rock upon which Jesus would found His Church. On the occasion of the miraculous feeding of the five thousand, it was Andrew who pointed out the boy who had “five barley loaves and two fishes”. A few days before the death of Jesus, certain Greeks asked Philip that they might see Him. Philip referred the matter to Andrew, as to one of greater authority, and then both told the Master.
Andrew was present at the Last Supper; saw the Risen Savior; witnessed the Ascension; shared in the graces and gifts of the first Pentecost, and endeavored to establish the Faith in Palestine amidst threats and persecution. St. Andrew was crucified for the Faith at Patras in Greece, by order of the Roman Governor, during the reign of Nero, on November 30 in the year 60. He was bound, not nailed, to the cross, in order to prolong his sufferings. Outstanding in his martyrdom is the greeting wherewith he welcomed the cross on which he was to die: “Hail. precious cross, receive the disciple of Him Who hung upon the ee, Christ, my master. Hail, O Cross, which art consecrated by the body of Christ, and art adorned by his members as with pearls. — Receive the disciple of Him who hung upon thee, Christ, my master.”
