Icons of St. Andrew often depict him preaching or performing his missionary work. Usually, the Apostle Andrew is depicted with a cross in his hands, which has the shape of the “St. Andrew's Cross,” that is, a diagonal cross that became a symbol of his martyrdom. According to legend, St. Andrew was crucified on such a cross in the city of Patras, Greece, and this cross became known as the “St. Andrew's Cross.” Icons of St. Andrew may depict him in the luxurious attire of an apostle, with a book in his hands, symbolizing his preaching and teaching of the Christian faith. Icons can also depict landscapes that reflect the places where the apostle preached - on the coast or among the people to whom he brought the word of God.
