St Andrew

Lodged by John Mason Standard Motion 13 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes that Scotland is the sole part of the British Isles whose patron saint, Andrew, is mentioned in The Bible; believes that Andrew, a fisherman by trade, was called by Jesus to be one of his 12 disciples and is credited with first introducing his brother, Simon Peter, to Jesus with the words, “We have found the Messiah” (John 1:41, NIV); notes that, according to the Gospel of John, it was Andrew who presented the boy with the five loaves and two fish to Jesus immediately prior to the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand; considers that Scotland is fortunate to be aligned with a patron of such outstanding heritage, and looks forward to remembering and celebrating the legacy of St Andrew on 30 November 2021.
