Sant'Andrea
Sant'Andrea
Secondo il Nuovo Testamento, l'apostolo Andrea, noto anche come Sant'Andrea, era un discepolo di Gesù. He is the brother of Saint Peter and was part of the inner circle of Jesus Christ.
Nella tradizione ortodossa, è conosciuto come il primo chiamato. The Patriarch of Constantinople is the apostolic successor to Saint Andrew.
Andrew was born in the early first century in the village of Bethsaida on the Sea of Galilee, according to the New Testament. He was a fisherman. His name means “strong,” and he was noto per le sue abilità sociali.
Secondo il Vangelo di Matteo, Gesù stava camminando lungo la riva del Mar di Galilea quando notò Andrea e Simon Pietro che stavano pescando.
Poi chiese loro di essere discepoli e “pescatori di uomini”.
Andrew is not named in the Gospel of Luke at first. It describes Jesus using a boat, thought to be solely Simon’s, to preach to the multitudes and catch a large amount of fish on a previously dry night. Later, in Luke 5:7, it is mentioned that Simon was not the only pescatore in barca, but it is not mentioned until Luke 6:14 that Andrew is Simon Peter’s brother.
Birth/Early Life
Ci sono alcuniFatti di Andrea Apostolo that you should know for instance that Andrew was born between the years of 5 and 10 in Bethsaida, Palestine’s main fishing port. His parents’ names were Jona and Joanna, and he had a brother called Simon.
Jona era un pescatore, insieme al suo socio in affari e amico Zebedeo e ai suoi figli Giacomo e Giovanni.
Andrew was naturally inquisitive.
Avrebbe iniziato a frequentare la scuola della sinagoga all'età di cinque anni, dove avrebbe studiato scrittura, astronomia e aritmetica.
Andrew the ApostleLife With Jesus
L'apostolo Andrea, il cui nome significa "virile", fu il primo apostolo di Gesù Cristo. In precedenza era stato discepolo di Giovanni Battista, ma quando Giovanni dichiarò che Gesù era "l'agnello di Dio", Andrea lo seguì e trascorse una giornata con lui.
Andrew went straight to his brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah.” (John 1:41) He accompanied Simon to meet Jesus.
Secondo Matteo, Simone e Andrea lasciarono cadere le reti da pesca e seguirono Gesù mentre passava.
Nei Vangeli sono registrati tre episodi che coinvolgono l'apostolo Andrea.
He and three other disciples questioned Jesus about his prediction that the Temple would be demolished (Mark 13:3; Mark 13:4).
Andrew brought a boy to Jesus with two fish and five barley loaves, which he multiplied to feed 5,000 people (John 6:8; John 6:9; John 6:10; John 6:11; John 6:12; John 6:13).
Ilapostolo Filippo and Andrew brought some Greeks who wanted to meet Jesus to him (John 12:20; John 12:21; John 12:22).
Sebbene non sia menzionato nella Bibbia, la tradizione della chiesa sostiene che Andrea fu crocifisso come martire su una croce a forma di X.
Sant'AndreaReflection
The Gospels tell us very little about Andrew’s holiness, as they do about all of the apostles except Peter and John. He was a preacher.
Questo è sufficiente.
Gesù lo chiamò personalmente per annunciare la Buona Novella, per guarire con la potenza di Gesù e per condividere la sua vita e la sua morte.
La santità di oggi non è diversa. È un dono che include una chiamata a preoccuparsi del Regno, un atteggiamento estroverso che non desidera altro che condividere le ricchezze di Cristo con tutte le persone.
Molti cattolici praticano la Novena di Sant'Andrea, nota anche come Novena di Sant'Andrea di Natale, in cui viene recitata una preghiera specifica 15 volte al giorno dalla sua festa, il 30 novembre, fino a Natale.
Liturgical Calendar
L'anno liturgico nel calendario cattolico romano inizia con l'Avvento e la prima domenica di Avvento è sempre la domenica più vicina alla festa di Sant'Andrea.
Though Advent can begin as late as December 3, Saint Andrew’s feast (November 30) is traditionally listed as the first saint’s day of the liturgical year, even when the First Sunday of Advent falls after it—an honor befitting of Andrew’s position among the apostles.
Legacy/Achievements
Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland, Russia, Romania, Amalfi, and Luqa (Malta). Many national flags depict the cross on which he was crucified, serving as a memorial to him.
Ad esempio, la bandiera scozzese (e, in seguito, l'Union Jack e la bandiera della Nuova Scozia) include una croce di Sant'Andrea per commemorare la forma della croce di Sant'Andrea. Il saltire è anche la bandiera di Tenerife e il jack navale della Russia.
La festa di Andrea si celebra il 30 novembre sia nelle chiese orientali che occidentali, ed è la festa nazionale della Scozia. La festa di Sant'Andrea è il primo giorno di festa nel Proprio dei Santi nei libri liturgici tradizionali della chiesa cattolica.
Andrew is revered in the Greek Orthodox tradition as the founder of the See of Constantinople and the source of apostolic succession in this church.
È anche una rappresentazione popolare nelle icone e un nome popolare per i ragazzi in diversi paesi con popolazioni prevalentemente cristiane.
His Travels
Andrea, come gli altri apostoli, andò a diffondere il Vangelo dopo la morte, la risurrezione e l'ascensione di Cristo, ma i resoconti differiscono per quanto riguarda l'estensione dei suoi viaggi.
Andrew, according to Origen and Eusebius, first traveled around the Black Sea as far as Ukraine and Russia, whereas other accounts focus on Andrew’s later evangelization in Byzantium and Asia Minor.
He is credited with establishing the Sea of Byzantium (later Constantinople) in the year 38, which is why he is the patron saint of the Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, even though Andrew was not the first bishop there.
Key Takeaway
Andrea era uno dii dodici apostoli, and he is known as “Protocletus” (the First-Called) because he was the first Apostle to be summoned into Jesus’ service. Andrew and his brother Peter were fishermen on the Sea of Galilee. Both men became Apostles, and while his brother came to symbolize the Church of the West, Andrew came to symbolize the Church of the East.
Oggi la voce di sant'Andrea continua a chiamare tutti i cristiani, in particolare i cristiani greco-ortodossi in tutto il mondo. Il suo spirito intatto invita attraverso i secoli proclamando:
“Il Salvatore del mondo è venuto! Egli è il Cristo, il Figlio di Dio!».
This is the call of St. Andrew to all men for “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.” (Hebrews 13:8)
Sant'AndreaDeath
Luoghi della tradizioneAndrew’s martyrdomil 30 novembre dell'anno 60.
Andrew was martyred on November 30, 60 (during Nero’s persecution) in the Greek city of Patrae, according to tradition.
A medieval tradition also holds that he did not consider himself worthy of being crucified in the same manner as Christ, and so he was placed on an X-shaped cross, now known as Saint Andrew’s Cross (especially in heraldry and flags).
Il governatore romano lo fece legare piuttosto che inchiodare alla croce per prolungare la crocifissione e quindi l'agonia di Andrea.

Riepilogo
Andrew demonstrated his love for his brother as well as his apostolic zeal when he sought out Peter, convinced that Jesus was the Messiah. “Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus. He first went to his own brother Simon and told him, ‘We have found the Messiah,’ and then brought him to Jesus.” (John 1:40; John 1:41; John 1:42)
Some of Andrew’s relics were brought to Scotland in the fourth century, but parts of his skeleton are kept in the crypt of Amalfi Cathedral in Italy, where they are removed twice a year and produce a clear, water-like substance. The substance, known as “manna,” is said to have miraculous properties.
