Wed. - Saint Andrew's Day

Wednesday evening we will celebrate Saint Andrew.
We'll be having a variety of Scottish breakfast foods, including apple scones, toad-in-the-hole, potato cakes, and some dessert with chocolate & Scotch whiskey.

Saint Andrew was a fisherman who became a follower of Christ, an apostle. Andrew spread Christianity and was crucified on a cross or olive tree in the form of an X. There are different versions of the story, but some monk or missionary transported Andrew's remains to Scotland, which is how he became the patron saint of Scotland.
