Saint Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland and he is celebrated on 30 November. This is called St Andrew's Day. He is also the patron saint of Romania, Greece, Russia, Ukraine and Poland. Patron saints are chosen to be special protectors or guardians over things. Saint Andrew the Apostle, who 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 not only the Patron Saint of Scotland but also Romania, Russia, Poland, Ukraine and Barbados. Saint Andrew never visited Scotland during his lifetime. After his death only some of his remains, including a tooth, an arm bone, a kneecap and some fingers, were taken to St Andrews. It is believed that the Pope made St Andrew the Patron Saint of Scotland because he was one of the first 12 followers of Christ and that his brother, Saint Peter, was the founder of the church. Saint Andrew is also the patron of women wishing to become mothers, fishmongers and singers. In parts of Ukraine, Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Poland, Russia and Romania, women believe that on the Eve of St Andrew’s Day they will get a sign to show them who their future husband will be and their profession.
