Saint Andrew's Day - Who Was St. Andrew And Why Do Scots Celebrate His Day?
Saint Andrew was one of the 12 Apostles of Jesus Christ. A fisherman from Galilee, he was the brother of Simon Peter - ie. Saint Peter, founder of the Church and considered the first Pope. Andrew was crucified by the Romans on November 30, 60 AD.
For Scotland, St. Andrew , and his cross the Saltire, are sources of inspiration as well as national identity and national character. We discuss why and how - from the legend of King Angus and the Saltire to how St. Andrew's Day became a national holiday celebrated around the world.

This is one of the reasons that USA Kilts & Celtic Traditions is my favorite station on the internet. Thanks Eric and the rest of the team, once again you've knocked it out of the park.

Thanks for the information on St Andrew and his Day.
I celebrated St. Andrew's Day November 30, 2019 and the 200th anniversary of St. Andrew's Masonic Lodge 282 in Scotland. My family was some of the founding Members. I was with friends and family that are still members of the Lodge. The party afterwards was .....ummm good ..there were survivors.
Very well put together and informative video, thank you!
I'm Scottish have never seen anyone celebrating st Andrews day 😢
That was awesome, we'll done,
This was really cool! Thanks Eric!
Thank you for another very informative video which is very well done.
Brilliant. Now I feel like I have permission to celebrate Saint Andrew's Day (like Saint Patrick's Day and Saint Brigid's Day) as a non-Christian/Catholic.

Im a bit freaked out. This cant be coincidence. My name is andrew and i was born on nov 30th.

You never read all of the treaty of Arbroath ?
What? Peter the first "pope?" Andrew "founded" the Orthodox Church? C'mon, Eric. (But, the rest of the video was great!)

Destroying the clan system... was paramount on the English aristocracy...& To Distort history ‼️... St Patrick was possible a Scott..! Take back your heritage 👍 don't forget the land clearances ‼️
The story of St Andrew becoming our patron saint isn’t quite accurate
