Saint Andrew Saint Andrew was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, elder brother of Saint Peter. Before meeting Jesus, Andrew was a follower of John the Baptist and was one of the first ones to follow Jesus. He preached in Romania, Ucraina and Russia. Andrew died as a martyr in Patrasso, Greece, crucified on an X cross (hence its name, St. Andrew's cross). His body was later taken to Costantinopoli and in 1206, during its occupation in the crusade, cardinal Pietro Capuano, from Amalfi, took the relics to his city, where they are kept in the Cathedral.
