Bring your brother

Today the church celebrates the Feast of Saint Andrew.  The symbol of Saint Andrew is the saltire, a traverse cross, or simply Saint Andrews' cross.  There is also a spider with this name.

The appointed Gospel for Evening Prayer on Saint Andrews' recounts how Andrew, having heard John declare that Jesus was the Lamb of God, brought his brother Simon Peter to meet Jesus, saying:
"...We have found the Messias..." John 1:41
Yes, that's the same Peter (stone) upon which the church was built.
Remember to bring your brother.
