The last day of the month of November. November wasn't a good month - and December won't be a better month, probably! But today is a day of celebration in Scotland and Greece. Today is the feast day of St. Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland. It's a national holiday in Scotland (but it isn't in England). The Scottish flag is a white saltire on a blue field. Who was Andrew? He was an Apostle of Jesus and brother of St Peter. He was present at the Last Supper and he was crucified in Greece in 60 A.D. His cross was like an X. He has been honoured in Scotland for over 1000 years. He was a fisherman, so he is patron saint of fisher folk.
