Inscription. Saint Andrew was a poor Fisherman in Galilee. He was the brother of Simon Peter and was the first disciple to follow Jesus. He and his brother, Peter, became Apostles of Jesus - Andrew became one of Jesus' first Bishops. After our Lord 's Ascension, Andrew went to Greece to preach, some people became Christians but some hated Andrew and Jesus. They nailed Andrew to the cross. He sang with joy because like Jesus, he died on the cross. He hung for two days, praising Jesus until he died.

Saint Andrew's Feast day is November 30th.

In Memory of the Friends of the Olde Church of Saint Andrew who worked tirelessly to obtain funds which helped with the restoration of the Olde Church.
