Who was Andrew the Apostle?
Andrew the Apostle, called in the Orthodox tradition Prōtoklētos, or the First-called, was a Christian Apostle and the brother of Saint Peter.
The name "Andrew", like other Greek names, appears to have been common among the Jews, Christians, and other Hellenized people of the region. No Hebrew or Aramaic name is recorded for him. By Catholic doctrine, the apostolic successor to Saint Andrew is Patriarch Bartholomew I.
