taken fron google ===="St Andrew, who is also the patron saint of Greece, Romania, Russia and the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, was one of the disciples of Jesus. He was killed by the Romans in the city of Patras in Greece, who crucified him on a X shaped cross. The cross would later become the Saltire on Scotland's flag."
