After Jesus ascended into Heaven, St. Andrew spread the early [[Christian]] faith amid persecution in [[Palestine]]. He also preached the [[Gospels]] in [[Greece]]. No one knows how Andrew died, as it isn't recorded in the Bible or any other book. The [[Eastern Orthodox Church]] maintains that he died in Patras of Achaia, where he was crucified on a cross in the shape of an "X" (the first letter of Christ in Greek). The Church believes that St. Andrew was the first [[Ecumenical Patriarch]].
