Andrew

 Andrew spent his early years as a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee. He became a follower of John the Baptist and later a companion of Jesus. He is credited with having introduced his brother Peter to Jesus who called them to forsake their mundane occupation to become, "Fishers of Men." His later missionary activity was in Greece where he was imprisoned and crucified by order of the proconsul whose wife had become estranged from her husband by the preaching of Andrew. The X-like symbol indicates the shape of the cross on which he was put to death.
