    St. Andrew Cathedral, Patras

    8 de noviembre de 2021, Grecia ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    The patron saint of Patros is St. Andrew. It is said that the apostle Andrew came here and preached. And that he was martyred here. The cathedral is dedicated to him. He is credited with untold miracles, not the least of which was helping to lift an Ottoman siege.
    The 1st picture is of the new cathedral. The old one is to the right. The 2nd and 3rd pictures of are the interior of the new cathedral. The 4th picture is a reliquary containing bones of St. Andrew, and the 5th picture of the X-shaped cross or saltire holds remains of the cross upon which he was crucified. I'm told that his crucifixion was on a cross of this shape. You may know that Andrew is also the patron saint of Scotland, and the Scottish flag contains a saltire. No surprise.
    The last picture is in the smaller old cathedral.
