St. Andrew with Flag-Map of Greece Feast Day Card

While Scotland is the most famous example of a country under the patronage of St. Andrew, it is by no means the only one. St. Andrew is also the Patron Saint of Barbados, Cyprus, Greece, Romania, Russia, and Ukraine. Here, a pensive St. Andrew, clad in a white robe and blue mantle, leans on a large, wooden x-shaped cross or saltire which was the instrument of his martyrdom c. 70. Beside him is a flag-map of Greece. + Feast: November 30 + Image Credit (P 006): Figure extracted from an antique image of St. Andrew the Apostle from a late 19th-century devotional print in chromoxylography, originally published by Friedrich Pustet, Regensburg, New York, and Cincinnati.
