Saint Andrew's Day honours the Apostle Andrew, one of the twelve disciples of Jesus and the brother of Simon Peter, a fisherman from Galilee. According to tradition he preached in Asia Minor and around the Black Sea and was crucified at Patras in Greece. He is the patron saint of Scotland, Romania, Russia and Ukraine, among other places. His name comes from a Greek word meaning manly or brave. In the Orthodox Church he is called the First-Called, because the Gospel of John presents him as the first disciple to follow Jesus.
In Romania the day is called Sfântul Andrei and honours him as the Apostle of the Romanians and protector of the country. Romanian tradition says he preached in Scythia Minor, today's Dobruja on the Black Sea coast, where a cave linked to him is a place of pilgrimage. The Romanian Orthodox Church marks the feast with liturgies, and people named Andrei or Andreea celebrate their name day. Georgia has its own date: 12 May, when the arrival of Andrew in Georgia is commemorated, which became a public holiday in 2019.
