Why did Saint Andrew die?
There 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. If this tradition is historical, no particular reason for his execution is known. Suffice to say that 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 tradition is suspiciously similar to the tradition that his brother, Peter, also said he was unworthy to be crucified on the same type of cross on which Christ was crucified.
