Saint Andrew
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Andrew the Apostle.
Romania
Saint Andrew is the patron saint of Romania. The official stance of the Romanian Orthodox Church is that Andrew preached the Gospel in the province of Dobruja (Scythia Minor), where he is said to have converted the local population to Christianity. This tradition was not widely acknowledged until the 20th century, although it finds support in the Church History of Eusebius.
