St. Andrew's Day
Although not much more is known about St. Andrew, it is thought that he was crucified by the Romans on a saltire, a diagonal cross, the shape of which being the basis for the Cross of St. Andrew which appears on the Scottish Flag. As legend would have it, a Greek Monk called St. Rule had a dream telling of the removal of St. Andrew's remains to Constantinople by Constantine The Great, and was instructed by an angel to find them and take as much of them as he could to the "ends of the earth" for safe-keeping. St. Rule took various body parts from St. Andrew's tomb and followed the instructions he had been given in his dream. However, on his journey he was shipwrecked off the east coast of Scotland. The relics were housed for a while in the Cathedral of St. Andrews in 1160, however they are now lost, probably destroyed during the Scottish Reformation.
