ANDREW

Andrew was a fisherman and the brother of Simon Peter. His close friends were James and John who were also brothers. Andrew holds a fish, symbolizing both his discipleship and his occupation when Christ called him. He stands in back of a cross shaped like an X, which is said to have been the shape of the cross on which he was martyred. At the bottom of the Andrew panel is the figure of John the Baptist. Two figures stand near John in the Peter panel. These two figures, Andrew and Peter, along with the figure of John, recall their being called by Christ (John 1:35-41).
