Window # 11    Disciple:            St. Andrew: (Apostle, Martyr) The patron of Russia, Scotland and the Ecumenical Patriarchate. Andrew                               is symbolized by a cross shaped like an X. Because he was a fisherman, there are two fish crossed to form                               the X in the design.    Biblical Scene:    Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the                               stone had been removed from the tomb... Mary stood weeping outside the tomb... Jesus said to her, "Woman,                               why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?" Supposing him to be the gardner, she said to him, "tell me                               where you have laid him, and I will take him away." Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to him                               "Rabbouni!"( which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, "Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended                               to the father. But go to my brothers and say to them, " I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my                               God and to your God!'" (John 20:1, 11, 15-17)                               Cross:               The St. Andrew's Cross (or Saltire Cross): According to tradition St. Andrew was crucified on an X shaped                             cross, known as a saltire or St. Andrew's cross, in Achaia. He requested that he be crucified on a cross                             unlike that of his Lord.
