	The Monastery of St. Andrew in Krisei
		The fact that it received the relic of St. Andrew, one of the main supporters and martyrs of iconveneration and Orthodox beliefs, and that the church was reconsecrated in his name cannot be irrelevant to the monastery's role in the restoration of icons.

		After the Conquest, St. Andrew in Krisei continued to be a nunnery until 1489 when, in the reign of Sultan Beyazit II (148I-1512), the apostate Koca Mustal'a Pasha converted the monastic complex into a mosque known to this day by his name.

	St. Andrew
		Andrew had been a disciple of St John the Baptist, and it was John who pointed out our Lord to him with the words, 'This is the Lamb of God.' Andrew and another of John's disciples immediately followed our Lord, and Andrew thus has the distinction of being known as the first of the disciples.
		The St Andrew's cross-'saltire' or X-shaped-of Scottish heraldry, often supposed to have been the form of cross on which Andrew was martyred, does not, in fact, seem to have been associated with the saint before the fourteenth century.
		The Gospels tell us that Andrew was the brother of Simon Peter, and that they were fishermen from Bethsaida; they also had a house at Capharnaum, as we hear that our Lord stayed there when he was preaching in the neighborhood.
