Coats of arms showing St. Andrew.
Saint Andrew (Andreas) is a Christian Apostle and the younger brother of Saint Peter. The name "Andrew" (from Greek : "a?d?e?a", Andreia, manhood, or valour), like other Greek names, appears to have been common among the Jews from the second or third century B.C.
Andrew is said to have been martyred by crucifixion at Patras (Patrae) in Achaea. Though early texts describe Andrew bound, not nailed, to a Latin cross of the kind on which Christ was crucified, a tradition grew up that Andrew had been crucified on a cross of the form called Crux decussata (X-shaped cross) and commonly known as "St. Andrew's cross". The familiar iconography of his martyrdom, showing the apostle bound to an X-shaped cross, does not seem to have been standardized before the later Middle Ages.
