∙ 8y agoThere are few consistently agreed Christian traditions about the life and death of Saint Andrew after the founding of the Christian Church. He is said to have been martyred by crucifixion at Patras in Achaea, on the orders of the Roman governor, but there is no reliable evidence that Andrew was even executed at all.
Early texts, such as the Acts of Andrew, describe Andrew bound to a cross of the kind on which Christ was crucified, but a later tradition grew up that Andrew had been crucified on an X-shaped cross, commonly known as "Saint Andrew's Cross", at his own request because he was unworthy to be crucified on the same type of cross on which Christ was crucified. This parallels a similar, third-century legend about the supposed execution of St Peter.
