Saint Andrew


Today, November 30, Scots Celebrate the day of their patron saint, St Andrew. Andrew, born a Jew by the sea of Galilee, was a disciple of John the Baptist, then of Christ. in the 10C, his remains were brought to what was then a Pict settlement, where the current township of St Andrews stands.
It's Unlikely Andrew would of been his original name, as its not a Jewish name. Andrew's remains are lost, probably destroyed during the Reformation, as would of been records of his life.
