Agios Andreas – Carved Wooden Amulet – Mount Athos

Description

Wooden pendant with Saint Andrew

A wonderful wood-carved amulet from Mount Athos with a relief representation of Saint Andrew the Protoklitos.

It is an elegant & handy handiwork made in linden or cherry wood, by monks with great skill in wood processing. In a relatively small size and with a well-thought-out construction (thanks to the cord on top), it can be placed anywhere in the house, in the car or even in a bag, so that the believer feels that he always has the Grace and protection of the Saint close to him.

At the same time, it can be a very beautiful gift for the people we love.

On the back is the exact name of the representation.

Saint Andrew the Apostle (30 November)

Andrew, a fisherman by profession, came from Bethsaida in Galilee and was the brother of the Apostle Peter. Because he was the first in the group of disciples to be called by the Lord, he was called protocletos.

Andrew (along with John the Evangelist) were at first disciples of John the Baptist, who one day, pointing to Jesus, told them, “And in the memory of God the sin of the world.” The two simple fishermen were so moved that without any hesitation and reservation they immediately left their teacher and followed Jesus.

Apostle Andrew preached in Bithynia, the Black Sea, Thrace, Macedonia and Epirus. Eventually, he ended up in Achaia where, with his teaching and miraculous healings of patients , he irritated the proconsul and, at the urging of pagan priests, arrested Andrew and crucified him on an X-shaped cross.
