Orthodox icon of Saint Andrew the First Called Apostle (3). Copy of an icon of 17 cent.

Commemorated November 30.

The Holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called was the first of the Apostles to follow Christ, and he later brought his own brother, the holy Apostle Peter, to Christ (John 1:35-42). The future apostle was from Bethsaida, and from his youth he turned with all his soul to God. He did not enter into marriage, and he worked with his brother as a fisherman. When the holy Prophet, Forerunner and Baptist John began to preach, St Andrew became his closest disciple. St John the Baptist himself sent to Christ his own two disciples, the future Apostles Andrew and John the Theologian, declaring Christ to be the Lamb of God.

After the Descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles, St Andrew went to the Eastern lands preaching the Word of God. He went through Asia Minor, Thrace, Macedonia, he reached the River Danube, went along the coast of the Black Sea, through Crimea, the Black Sea region and along the River Dniepr he climbed to the place where the city of Kiev now stands. He stopped overnight on the hills of Kiev. Rising in the morning, he said to those disciples that were with him: See these hills? Upon these hills shall shine forth the beneficence of God, and there will be a great city here, and God shall raise up many churches. The apostle went up around the hills, blessed them and set up a cross. Having prayed, he went up even further along the Dniepr and reached a settlement of the Slavs, where Novgorod was built. From here the apostle went through the land of the Varangians towards Rome for preaching, and again he returned to Thrace, where in the small village of Byzantium, the future Constantinople, he founded the Church of Christ.

The name of the holy Apostle Andrew links the mother, the Church of Constantinople, with her daughter, the Russian Church. On his journeys the First-Called Apostle endured many sufferings and torments from pagans: they cast him out of their cities and they beat him. In Sinope they pelted him with stones, but remaining unharmed, the persistant disciple of Christ continued to preach to people about the Savior. Through the prayers of the Apostle, the Lord worked miracles. By the labors of the holy Apostle Andrew, Christian Churches were established, for which he provided bishops and clergy. The final city to which the Apostle came was the city of Patra, where he was destined to suffer martyrdom. The Lord worked many miracles through His disciple in Patra. The infirm were made whole, and the blind received their sight.

Through the prayers of the Apostle, the illustrious citizen Sosios recovered from serious illness; he healed Maximilla, wife of the governor of Patra, and his brother Stratokles. The miracles accomplished by the Apostle and his fiery speech enlightened almost all the citizens of the city of Patra with the true Faith. Few pagans remained at Patra, but among them was the prefect of the city, Aegeatos. The Apostle Andrew repeatedly turned to him with the words of the Gospel

. But even the miracles of the Apostle did not convince Aegeatos. The holy Apostle with love and humility appealed to his soul, striving to reveal to him the Christian mystery of life eternal, through the wonderworking power of the Holy Cross of the Lord. The angry Aegeatos gave orders to crucify the apostle. The pagan thought he might undo St Andrew's preaching if he were to put him to death on the cross. St Andrew the First-Called accepted the decision of the prefect with joy and with prayer to the Lord, and went willingly to the place of execution.

In order to prolong the suffering of the saint, Aegeatos gave orders not to nail the saint's hands and feet, but to tie them to the cross. For two days the apostle taught the citizens who gathered about. The people, in listening to him, with all their souls pitied him and tried to take St Andrew down from the cross. Fearing a riot of the people, Aegeatos gave orders to stop the execution. But the holy apostle began to pray that the Lord would grant him death on the cross. Just as the soldiers tried to take hold of the Apostle Andrew, they lost control of their hands. The crucified apostle, having given glory to God, said: Lord Jesus Christ, receive my spirit. Then a blazing ray of divine light illumined the cross and the martyr crucified upon it.

When the light faded, the holy Apostle Andrew had already given up his holy soul to the Lord. Maximilla, the wife of the prefect, had the body of the saint taken down from the cross, and buried him with honor. A few centuries later, under the emperor Constantine the Great, the relics of the holy Apostle Andrew were solemnly transferred to Constantinople and placed in the church of the Holy Apostles beside the relics of the holy Evangelist Luke and St Paulu2019s disciple St Timothy.

Must have this if you have an iPad.
Fits my iPad perfectly. Makes storage of the power cord easy. It also protects the iPad when not in use.

Perfect for my iPAD, cash, phone, & more
Size: 12.9 inch, Color: Indigo
I searched Amazon a few different times trying to find exactly what I was looking for. We're traveling out of country and I needed a couple of very specific things in a bag for my iPad. It has the padded space for the iPAD, then beside it is an equally sized space for whatever - money bag, etc....for me. T here's a front zipper pocket with a smaller pocket included holders for 2 pens. My time and energy paid off by purchasing this bag. The iPAD slides in lengthwise making it easily accessible along with the cash bag I'll be accessing frequently. Its qualit y, it looks very nice and its lightweight. I'm a happy camper. I recommend getting this bag. Oh, I will also carry my cell phone in the bag too.

A Very PROfessional looking bag for all my iPRO Mobile Devices!
Size: 13.3-14 inch, Color: Dark Gray
Moko products usually meet my expectations and this little bag is no exception. It’s the perfect size for an iPad in a fully enclosed case. The front pocket is ideal for cords, backup charger battery, pens, notepads, iPhone, etc. We (husband and wife) are both in our 80’s and sometimes need to take our iPads to medical appointments because it’s often hard to see everything we might need to see on a regular iPhone screen. We bought a dark blue one in January for my husband to safely take his new iPad to work so he could read kindle books during his breaks. The day after I ordered it, he had to retire under VA Disability. Still, it has come in handy as we take care of paperwork, etc. I liked his so much that I ordered this gray one last week. The size, style, colors, etc make them look very professional. The bag is small enough that even I can lift and carry it. (It’s too small for use with a full-size laptop especially if it has a case of any kind.) I have the 2025 iPad Pro (M5) and my husband has the 2025 iPad (A16). We both have the 2025 iPhone 17 Pro β€” mine is the regular size and his is the Max. Both are in completely enclosed cases. It is a necessity to have a secure way to use our mobile devices away from home, and these bags are perfectly compatible with everything we need to carry around in them as protection for our valuable devices. The MOKO cases are stream-lined, easy to use, not bulky but padded enough to give protection. Best of all, the price is quite good for an item of this quality. At $30 @, I suspect they could possibly outlast us! They also should be easy to spot clean if necessary. I find I can keep my magnetic paper-feel screen in the inside pocket to use with my iPencil Pro, which I can store in the smaller front compartment. In fact, I will probably keep all my accessories in the bag, then just add my iPad when I need to take it with me. I’m glad we both have our own and highly recommend this if you are looking for a bag for this purpose.

Very impressive and cute carrying case
Size: 12.9 inch, Color: Purple Starry Sky, Size: 12.9 inch, Color: Purple Starry Sky
I've been looking for the "perfect" ipad carrying pouch for a while now and this one is the closest I've found. I use my ipad primarily for art so I always have a stylus, a sketchbook and various odds and ends with me. My 13 inch ipad while in it's bumper case fits in the sleeve easily without the stylus attached and in the main compartment with the stylus attached. There is also enough room for an extra sketchbook/kindle/keyboard in the main part of the bag The zipper quality is nice and I like the feel of the zipper pulls. The handle on the top is very convenient. The crossbody strap is the only thing I'd be a little concerned about because the attachment hardware is plastic but it doesn't feel flimsy at all. The padding is a good amount and I think I would feel safe with my ipad in it with a less robust or even no case. Also I'm just really happy that it had some fun and cool colors available, I'm tempted to pick up a more 'business like' color in the future.
