Learn about Field GuideThe story behind it
Saint Andrew (Agios Andreas) was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus and traditionally believed to have been martyred in Patras. His relics are enshrined in the new metropolitan church. The feast day links modern Patras with early Christianity and Orthodox tradition. It is marked by rituals such as the doxology (vespers) on the eve and a litany (procession of his icon and relic) on the day of the feast.
