On November 30, Orthodox Christians in Romania celebrate Saint Andrew the Apostle, considered the patron saint of Romanians. He is also known as 'The First Called' because he was the first of the apostles to respond to the call of Jesus Christ to spread the Christian faith in the world. Saint Andrew the Apostle was born in Bethsaida, being the brother of Simon Peter, and played an essential role in the formation of Christian communities. His feast is marked by specific traditions and customs, having a profound significance for the faithful. This day is not only an occasion for prayer but also a moment of reflection on Christian values and national identity.
