Iconography and Symbolism

Every element in this portrait tells the story of Andrew’s life, his mission, and how he died for his faith. The most famous symbol is the X-shaped cross, where he found his death after been sentenced to die by crucifixion in Patras, Greece. The scroll in his left hand is a symbol given to Apostles and Prophets. Andrew is always painted with thick, messy grey hair and a long beard – references his background as a rugged fisherman from the Sea of Galilee before he met Jesus.
