SAINT ANDREJ PRVOZVANI

Saint Andrew the First-Called was the first follower and the first apostle of Christ who suffered on the cross because of his devotion to the New Testament faith.

In eastern Serbia, St. Andrew's Day is called Meckindan. Saint Andrew is the apostle of Constantinople and Russia, and he was also the patron of the Russian Empire and the house of the Romanovs. According to tradition, St. Andrew was the elder brother of the Apostle Peter and a disciple of St. John the Baptist.

He died at the age of 62, his relics were transferred to Constantinople, and then, as it is written, the head of the saint was transferred to Rome, and one arm to Moscow.

Saint Andrew is celebrated every year on December 13 according to the new calendar, ie on November 30 according to the Julian calendar and his liturgical calendar.

The Karadjordjevic family has been celebrating this holiday since the time of the First Serbian Uprising, and it was introduced by the leader Karadjordjevic, who had been celebrating St. Clement until then. Karadjordje made a vow to St. Andrew in 1806, after the liberation of Belgrade from Turkish rule.
Peter II Karadjordjevic continued this family tradition as the King of Serbia with the blessing of Metropolitan Mihajlo.
