Tradition holds that Saint Andrew, the first-called Apostle, preached the Gospel in Scythia, which encompasses modern-day Romania. He is considered the patron saint of Romania. Legend says that Andrew, while traveling, prophesied the future Christianization of the land and saw the area as a fertile ground for the faith. He is said to have established the first Christian communities there, laying the foundation for the Romanian Orthodox Church. Let us pray: Holy Apostle Andrew, intercede for us and for Romania, that the light of Christ may shine brightly in our hearts and lands! #SaintAndrew #OrthodoxChristianity #Romania #Apostle #Prayer #Faith
