Feast of Andrew Apostle

Today the Church keeps Andrew Apostle — feast.

Andrew was the first apostle called by Jesus, a fisherman like his brother Peter. He was martyred on an X-shaped cross — the cross of St. Andrew now on Scotland's flag.

The season

Advent

We are in the First Week of Advent — the Church wears violet.

A season of patient, watchful waiting — preparing the heart for the coming of Christ in the darkness of winter. Today, though, the Church sets that aside and wears red — for the feast of Andrew Apostle.
