Saint Andrew's Day - Who Was St. Andrew And Why Do Scots Celebrate His Day?

Saint Andrew was one of the 12 Apostles of Jesus Christ. A fisherman from Galilee, he was the brother of Simon Peter - ie. Saint Peter, founder of the Church and considered the first Pope. Andrew was crucified by the Romans on November 30, 60 AD.

For Scotland, St. Andrew , and his cross the Saltire, are sources of inspiration as well as national identity and national character. We discuss why and how - from the legend of King Angus and the Saltire to how St. Andrew's Day became a national holiday celebrated around the world.
