Today we celebrate Saint Andrew the Apostle, father of Romanian Christianity. Andrew was the first called of the apostles and the one to proclaim the gospel of Jesus to our ancestors in Scythia Minor or today's Dobrogea. My best wishes to those who bear his name! #SaintAndrewsDay https://t.co/5bVJEPmjLh
