Andrew, like his brother, Simon Peter,  was a fisherman.  He became a disciple of the  great St.
John the Baptist,  but  when John pointed to Jesus and said,  "Behold the Lamb of God!"  
Andrew understood that Jesus was greater.    

At once he left John to follow the Divine Master.  Jesus knew that Andrew was walking behind
him, and turning back, he asked, "what do you seek?"  

When  Andrew answered that he would like to know where Jesus lived,
Our  Lord replied,  " Come and see."  

Andrew had been only a little time with Jesus when he realized  that this was truly the
Messiah.  From then on, he chose to follow Jesus.  Andrew was thus the first  disciple of Christ.
 

Next, Andrew brought his brother Simon (St. Peter) to Jesus and Jesus  received him, too, as
His disciple.  At first the two brothers continued to carry on their fishing trade and family
affairs,  but later, the Lord called them to stay with Him all the time. He promised to make them
fishers of men, and this time,  they left their nets for good.  It is believed that after Our Lord
ascended into Heaven, St. Andrew  went to Greece to preach the  gospel.  He is said to have
been put to death on a cross, to which he was tied, not nailed.   

He lived two days in that state of suffering, still preaching to the people who gathered around
their  beloved Apostle.
