tombs of the Apostles: Saint Andrew by ric Gustafson
When you enter Patras Greece, the main thoroughfare is called the Agios Andreou. It is also the name of the church where an x shape cross lights up the sky. This is known as Saint Andrew's cross.
According to the book of John, Andrew was the first called of the Twelve. He brought Peter into Jesus's circle. The book of John talks about Andrew more than the other three Gospels. Andrew is not part of Jesus's inner circle despite being Peter's brother. It is Andrew who spots the boy with the barley loaves and fish to feed the five thousand. In Saint Andrew's Square is three building. The first is Saint Andrew's Church. A new four story building and the new Saint Andrew's Church.
Inside Old Saint Andrew's Church is the Well of Andrew. On this spot it has been written that the Apostle was crucified on an X shaped cross.
