This might explain why seemingly secular events such as New Year (Hogmanay), Burns’ Night and certain football matches have generally received more attention across Scotland than St Andrew’s Day has.Ah but, you say, “St Andrew’s Day is not so much a saint’s day as a national day; that’s why the Scottish parliament passed the St. Andrew’s Day Bank Holiday (Scotland) Act as recently as 2007, so that everyone could celebrate it”. Enjoyed the post, Mike. Also in this section If you haven’t visited, it is a lovely place, by the way. Here in Tampa we celebrate Gasparilla Day, for the ignoble Jose Gaspar who may or may not have plied the waters of the Gulf as a pirate. I don’t worry too much about the finger bones and such, but I go with the story of the battle at Athelstane, where the Scots considered themselves saved by the white cross in the sky.

Our readers rely on us to meticulously research as much as possible, but we’re not writing academic articles, generally rely on secondary sources and, in this instance, are also in murky waters complicated by religious mythology and a great passage of time. Some of these societies are primarily social, with events organised to celebrate Scottish heritage, but others seem to be almost entirely charitable in nature, based on the premise that St Andrew’s reputation is of a kind man who helped others. I hate to think what Andrew himself would have thought about all the fuss made about his bones! I do remember we were disappointed that so little of the cathedral in St. Andrews is left. These include Greece, Barbados, Ukraine, Russia, Sicily, Cyprus and Romania. He was widely venerated; there are hundreds of churches dedicated to him – 600 pre-Reformation churches in England alone, apparently. It’s one of the many things that keeps people coming back to visit.Scotland's desire to help those who are less fortunate is highlighted in the many social enterprises that are thriving across the country. Posted by ergin on 6 September 2017, 4:24 pm. This town is now called Another ancient legend recalls how it was after the death of Andrew, sometime in the 4th century, that several of his relics where brought to Fife by Rule, a native of Patras.Whichever legend is closer to the truth we are unlikely to ever unravel, however it is these links that explain why Andrew is now the Patron Saint of Scotland.Churches were dedicated to him from early times throughout Italy and France as well as in St. Andrew has also been remembered down through the ages for the way he met his terrible death in A.D. 60.It is said that he believed himself unworthy to be crucified on a cross like that of Christ, and so he met his end on a ‘saltire’, or X-shaped cross (The supposed anniversary of his martyrdom is 30 November, and it is this date that is honoured as his feast day each year.Today, pilgrims of another sort make the journey from all over the world to the tiny city of The history of St David, and how he came to be the patron saint of Wales.St Patrick, patron saint of Ireland, may have been born a WelshmanMargaret was born in 1046 and was a member of an ancient English royal family. It would certainly have put me off. CodyCross is an addictive game developed by Fanatee. … Loved your history.An interesting and complicated story, but when did he build the university and the golf course? I would prefer to remember him in real life as recorded in the New Testament accounts you describe. It is understood that the other bits of the poor chap’s mortal remains, if that’s what they really are, have been returned to Patras.If, in the 21st century, you should inexplicably find the whole business of relocating and venerating bones just a wee bit bizarre, and maybe a tad macabre, that’s perfectly OK.It was partly to answer this question that Mrs Britain and I took ourselves off to visit St Andrews, to take a look at the ruined Cathedral, St Rule’s Church and soak it all up.
Huh- I always thought of curling as a Canadian thing (but I suppose it had to come over from somewhere! The day is usually marked with a celebration of Scottish culture, including dancing, music, food and drink, with parties going on long into the cold winter night. I was wondering about the history of St Andrew the other day, and his connection with Scotland. I prefer the cathedrals where something of the building was left as a ruin to see. The remains of the cross he died on are in St. Andrew’s Cathedral, Patras in Greece where he was bishop.
