## Celebrating Saint Andrew: A Conversation about Faith and Tradition
**Host:** Welcome back to the show. Today, November 30th, is a day celebrated by many around the world, marking the feast day of Saint Andrew the First-Called, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. With us today to discuss the significance of this day is Alex Reed, an expert on early Christian history. Welcome to the show.
**Alex Reed:** Thank you for having me. I’m delighted to be here to talk about Saint Andrew.
**Host:** Saint Andrew is often referred to as “the First-Called.” Can you tell us a little bit about what that means and why it’s significant?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely. According to the Gospels, Andrew was the first apostle called by Jesus. [[1](https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/saints/andrew-the-apostle-466)]He was a fisherman from Galilee, and when Jesus encountered him, he immediately followed him, bringing his brother Simon Peter along as well. This act of immediate faith and obedience is why Andrew is remembered as the First-Called.
**Host:** What are some of the ways people celebrate Saint Andrew’s Day?
**Alex Reed:** Saint Andrew’s Day is celebrated in various ways across different cultures. In some places, there are special church services and processions. In Scotland, it’s a national holiday with traditional festivities and even a special dish called “Andrew Fairlie’s Cullen Skink.”
**Host:** Fascinating! Now, I understand that while November 30th marks Saint Andrew’s Day, another significant figure, Saint Frumentius, is also celebrated on this date, particularly in Ethiopia.
**Alex Reed:** That’s right. While Saint Andrew is honored globally, in Ethiopia, November 30th is dedicated to Saint Frumentius, who played a crucial role in introducing Christianity to that region.
**Host:** Thank you for shedding light on these aspects. It’s truly inspiring to see how faith and tradition continue to be celebrated in different parts of the world, connecting people across cultures and time.
**Alex Reed:** It’s a pleasure to share this information.
