Description

Apostle Andrew the First-Called was the first disciple of Christ and therefore received such a name. After the ascension of Christ the apostle preached in Scythia, in the lands where Russia appeared many years later. According to the legend, Andrew the First Called on the site of the future Kiev said the prophecy that God’s land would be here. Later Apostle Andrew arrived in Greece, where he was captured by persecutors of Christians. The apostle was killed on the X-shaped cross. Andrew the First-Called is very esteemed in Russia, and Andrew cross decorates a flag of Russian fleet. On the back of the image is written a prayer to the Apostle Andrew: “About Andrew the Great, I pray you, proceed to me with mercy from God and our Savior Jesus Christ”. At the top of the picture is a thriving Cross, symbolizing a new, paradisiacal life, which the Lord granted to all people by His death and resurrection. On the back of the pendant is a prayer to Andrew: “Saint Andrew, pray to God for me”.
