Well, seeing as it's Easter time I thought I'd do a little research into my namesake. St Andrew was a dude! Not only was he one of the first disciples but he traveled a lot and healed the sick, started religions and built cathedrals. Those who resisted his teachings became possessed and gnawed at their bodies until Andrew healed them.
He was then crucified onto an X shaped cross (he was tied, not nailed) and left to die upside down looking at the heavens. Cool!
Other findings, the X shaped cross is used in both the Scottish and British flags and he is the patron Saint of Scotland.
How very cool!
