Saint ANDREW, to whom this church is dedicated, is one of the twelve apostles whom Jesus Christ called to follow him. But in the biblical accounts he is usually somewhat overshadowed by his much more famous brother: Saint Peter. In the Gospels we find the calling of the two siblings presented in different ways. According to the text of the Gospel of John (John 1:40-42), Andrew is called first (together with another disciple whose name is not mentioned). Later he tells his brother that he has found the Messiah.

In Scotland, however, Saint Andrew is particularly revered, after all he is the patron of the country and the X-shaped white "St. Andrew's Cross" on which he was executed forms the national flag of Scotland against a blue background.

The feast of Saint Andrew in the calendar of saints is on November 30th in all major Christian denominations.
