The Flag of Scotland, called The Saltire or Saint Andrew's Cross, is a blue field with a white saltire. Saint Andrew was a Galilean fisherman before he and his brother Simon Peter became disciples of Jesus Christ. He was crucified by the Romans on an X-shaped cross at Patras in Greece and, hundreds of years later, his remains were moved to Constantinople and then, in the 13th century, to Amalfi in southern Italy where they are kept to this day. Saint Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland, Greece, Russia, Romania, and Barbados. St Andrew is celebrated on 30 November every year, the same day he was crucified in 60 AD.. Saint Andrew’s Saltire Cross have been ingrained in Scottish national symbolism since, but he was only properly established as Scotland’s patron saint in 1320 with the Declaration of Arbroath.
