Orthodox icon of Saint Andrew the Apostle.

Commemorated November 30.

The Holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called was the first of the Apostles to follow Christ, and he later brought his own brother, the holy Apostle Peter, to Christ (John 1:35-42). The future apostle was from Bethsaida, and from his youth he turned with all his soul to God. He did not enter into marriage, and he worked with his brother as a fisherman. When the holy Prophet, Forerunner and Baptist John began to preach, St Andrew became his closest disciple. St John the Baptist himself sent to Christ his own two disciples, the future Apostles Andrew and John the Theologian, declaring Christ to be the Lamb of God.

After the Descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles, St Andrew went to the Eastern lands preaching the Word of God. He went through Asia Minor, Thrace, Macedonia, he reached the River Danube, went along the coast of the Black Sea, through Crimea, the Black Sea region and along the River Dniepr he climbed to the place where the city of Kiev now stands. He stopped overnight on the hills of Kiev. Rising in the morning, he said to those disciples that were with him: See these hills? Upon these hills shall shine forth the beneficence of God, and there will be a great city here, and God shall raise up many churches.

The apostle went up around the hills, blessed them and set up a cross. Having prayed, he went up even further along the Dniepr and reached a settlement of the Slavs, where Novgorod was built. From here the apostle went through the land of the Varangians towards Rome for preaching, and again he returned to Thrace, where in the small village of Byzantium, the future Constantinople, he founded the Church of Christ. The name of the holy Apostle Andrew links the mother, the Church of Constantinople, with her daughter, the Russian Church. On his journeys the First-Called Apostle endured many sufferings and torments from pagans: they cast him out of their cities and they beat him. In Sinope they pelted him with stones, but remaining unharmed, the persistant disciple of Christ continued to preach to people about the Savior.

Through the prayers of the Apostle, the Lord worked miracles. By the labors of the holy Apostle Andrew, Christian Churches were established, for which he provided bishops and clergy. The final city to which the Apostle came was the city of Patra, where he was destined to suffer martyrdom. The Lord worked many miracles through His disciple in Patra. The infirm were made whole, and the blind received their sight. Through the prayers of the Apostle, the illustrious citizen Sosios recovered from serious illness; he healed Maximilla, wife of the governor of Patra, and his brother Stratokles.

The miracles accomplished by the Apostle and his fiery speech enlightened almost all the citizens of the city of Patra with the true Faith. Few pagans remained at Patra, but among them was the prefect of the city, Aegeatos. The Apostle Andrew repeatedly turned to him with the words of the Gospel. But even the miracles of the Apostle did not convince Aegeatos. The holy Apostle with love and humility appealed to his soul, striving to reveal to him the Christian mystery of life eternal, through the wonderworking power of the Holy Cross of the Lord. The angry Aegeatos gave orders to crucify the apostle. The pagan thought he might undo St Andrew's preaching if he were to put him to death on the cross. St Andrew the First-Called accepted the decision of the prefect with joy and with prayer to the Lord, and went willingly to the place of execution.

In order to prolong the suffering of the saint, Aegeatos gave orders not to nail the saint's hands and feet, but to tie them to the cross. For two days the apostle taught the citizens who gathered about. The people, in listening to him, with all their souls pitied him and tried to take St Andrew down from the cross. Fearing a riot of the people, Aegeatos gave orders to stop the execution. But the holy apostle began to pray that the Lord would grant him death on the cross. Just as the soldiers tried to take hold of the Apostle Andrew, they lost control of their hands. The crucified apostle, having given glory to God, said: Lord Jesus Christ, receive my spirit.

 Then a blazing ray of divine light illumined the cross and the martyr crucified upon it. When the light faded, the holy Apostle Andrew had already given up his holy soul to the Lord. Maximilla, the wife of the prefect, had the body of the saint taken down from the cross, and buried him with honor. A few centuries later, under the emperor Constantine the Great, the relics of the holy Apostle Andrew were solemnly transferred to Constantinople and placed in the church of the Holy Apostles beside the relics of the holy Evangelist Luke and St Paul's disciple St Timothy.

Just Love this.... Read On!
Color: Silver, Memory Storage Capacity: 128 GB, Set name: Wi-Fi + Cellular
Like knew and seems to have been powered on one time only. Apple treat it as a new device. Its spotless and works great. I have had several ipad pro's and decided to by this instead and I actually prefer it. It does everything I could do with my ipad pro 2020 and then some. Its faster, good cameras. The e-sim card works great though I do wish it had a physical sim card slow.. oh well! The battery life is really excellent, it was quick to set up via a transfer from my old device. I added a case that looks like a fancy note book and love it. This helps with drops and scratches. I have not added a screen protector yet. The storage capacity is the same as my old ipad pro, I will never use 128 gb anyways... To sum up, this gets 10 out of 10... and its a great replacement for a ipad pro!

Good quality, good price, bad shipping tho
Color: Silver, Memory Storage Capacity: 128 GB, Set name: Wi-Fi
Honestly I was really happy with the iPad. The one I got was RENEWED in Excellent quality. I will start off by saying that it was poorly packaged during shipping and the iPad box was severely damaged, but luckily my iPad was just fine. The iPad came decently, but not fully, charged and was quick and easy to set up. The battery life does not last as long as my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, but I am also sure I do not have it optimized for battery saving. I got this iPad for 2 reasons. 1) To be a pseduo laptop with a keyboard case for school, and 2) procreate. I am overall happy with the item. I'm just sad I found a better deal on the exact same model sold at Walmart and its in pink (;-;). The item functions well, and is as described, it was a really good deal

I purchased it to program Harley. Pretty nice
Color: Silver, Memory Storage Capacity: 128 GB, Set name: Wi-Fi + Cellular
I've never had an Apple product before, the charging is slow, I love it because it's very light and durable I got it on sale So the value is very good. It's very thin also which I do like that and the collars are very bright and clear... I did drop it but from a low distance in the durability is great. Never damaged it a bit
