Andrew was Peter's brother and, according to John's Gospel, a former disciple of John the Baptist before he followed Jesus and immediately brought Peter to meet him as well. Andrew appears at several practical moments in the Gospels, pointing Jesus to the boy with five loaves and two fish before the feeding of the five thousand and bringing a group of inquiring Greeks to Jesus in his final week. Tradition holds that he was crucified on an X-shaped cross, which became known afterward as Saint Andrew's cross.
