St. Andrew's Day is the feast day of Saint Andrew. It is celebrated on
November 30 in Scotland. Saint Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland,
and St. Andrew's Day is Scotland's official national day. St. Andrew was one of Christ's twelve apostles. Some of his bones are
said to have been brought to what is now St. Andrews in Fife during the
4th century. Since medieval times the X-shaped saltire cross upon which
St. Andrew was supposedly crucified has been the Scottish national
symbol.
