Andrew was an Apostle of Christ and a disciple of John the Baptist, and was the brother of Peter. He was present for the miraculous draught of fishes and miracle of loaves and fishes. It is unclear where he lived and died, but was likely Greece.
In depictions of his crucifixion, Andrew is typically also bathed in a heavenly light.
