The Cup of Christ—Part 7

3 o’clock. Wood and rope.  Andrew, the brother of Peter.  It was Andrew who brought Peter to meet Jesus (John1:41-42).  Traditional holds that Andrew was martyred by being tied to an X shaped cross and crucified.

The painting entitled The Crucifixion of St Andrew by the Italian painter Mattia Preti depicts the scene.  Painters from the Baroque period are a good source of Christian imagery.

In part 8, we move to Philip at the 4 o’clock position.
