St. Andrew was one of the first apostles called by Jesus. He is the traditional founder of the churches in Greece and what are now Russia and Scotland. He was martyred in Patras near Corinth after converting members of the governor’s family to Christianity. Feeling unworthy to die in the same manner as our Lord, he was tied to an x-shaped cross. A fisherman like his brother, Simon Peter, St. Andrew is the appropriate patron saint for the international port city of Tampa. Our church has long had an association with ministering to seamen, and today, in connection with the International SeaFarers’ Mission, is still realizing the call of St. Andrew.
