Andrew gave up all, including working with the family fishing business, and followed Our Lord. Andrew was the first apostle. He was crucified on an X shaped cross, thus dying the death of a martyr. He was not formally canonized a saint because the canonization process was not in place at the time of his death. Since he died as a martyr for his faith, he would have been proclaimed a saint by popular acclamation shortly after he died.
