Saint Andrew
Andrew was the brother of Simon Peter, both fishermen. Originally, Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist, but John directed him to Jesus as the Lamb of God. Andrew was the first disciple to be called. He also induced his brother to become a follower of Jesus and is therefore considered the first Christian "missionary." According to tradition, Andrew was martyred in Greece by crucifixion on an X-shaped cross, which is now called Saint Andrew's Cross. In Christian art, he is usually represented holding or leaning on an X-shaped cross.
