Lot’s of fun in Lomond learning about St Andrew. We found the following facts:
- St Andrew was a fisherman before he gave it up to follow Jesus.
- St Andrew was crucified on an ‘X’ shape cross as he felt he wasn’t good enough to be crucified on the same shape of cross as Jesus.
- A ship carrying some of his bones was wrecked off the coast of Scotland near the town we now call St. Andrews.
- A Scottish King once had a dream before a battle where St. Andrew appeared to him. He went on to win the battle.
We rounded it all off by making ‘Saltire Biscuits’ to celebrate Scotland’s Patron Saint. Well done to all the boys for their research and their biscuit designs.
