    st andrew is the patron saint of scotland, and his day is a holiday in that part of the world.

    don't know why the scots are so fond of him, but whoever said that religious things can be explained?

    Although most commonly associated with Scotland, Saint Andrew is also the patron saint of Greece, Romania, Russia and the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.[1]
    In Germany, the feast day is celebrated as Andreasnacht ("St. Andrew's Night"), in Austria with the custom of Andreasgebet ("St. Andrew's Prayer"), and in Poland as Andrzejki ("Andrews").
