Saint Andrew, the First-Called, brother of Peter, preached the Gospel tirelessly. Tradition holds he journeyed through Scythia and the Black Sea region, eventually reaching present-day Romania. He is considered the patron saint of Romania. Tradition says he established the first Christian communities here. He faced persecution, and legend says he was martyred on an X-shaped cross in Patras, Greece, offering his life for Christ. Holy Apostle Andrew, pray for us!
