| St. Andrew the Apostle by Francisco de Zurbaran |
History
Saint Andrew was Saint Peter’s brother.
They were both fisherman. Andrew became a disciple of Saint John the Baptist,
but when John announced that Jesus was the Lamb of God, Andrew chose to follow
Jesus, the first of the 12 Apostles. Initially, Andrew and Peter kept fishing,
but then Jesus promised to make them “fishers of men” so they left their boats
and stayed with the Lord.
Activity
Here’s a fisherman snack to enjoy
today. All you need are fish-shaped crackers, small stick-shaped pretzels and
either peanut butter or a soft cheese (like cream cheese). Scatter the crackers
on a plate (or on a sheet of blue construction paper to look like the ocean). Add a small spoonful of peanut butter or
cheese. Now take one of your fishing poles (the pretzels!), dip the end in the
peanut butter or cheese and “catch” a fish to eat.
