St. Andrew, brother of St. Peter, preached the Gospel across many lands, including modern-day Romania and Ukraine. He was crucified in Patras, Greece, for his unwavering faith. Before his death, he requested to be crucified on an X-shaped cross, feeling unworthy to die in the same manner as Christ.

Let us pray to #SaintAndrew, that we may have the strength to spread the Gospel and remain steadfast in our beliefs, even in the face of adversity.
