St. Andrew was first a disciple of St. John the Baptist until he met Jesus and knew that he had found the Messiah. Right from the start he was an evangelist when he brought his brother St. Peter to Jesus. This vibrant image of St. Andrew shows him holding his symbols of a book and cross. It is believed that he was martyred by being tied to a cross, from which he continued preaching for two days before he died. This beautiful representation of St. Andrew would grace any setting where he is revered.
