What is St. Andrew's Day?

St Andrew's Day on November 30 is the feast of Saint Andrew, one of Jesus's twelve apostles and the patron saint of Scotland. Tradition holds that he was crucified on an X-shaped cross, which became the white saltire on a blue background of the Scottish flag. Since 2006 it has been an official bank holiday in Scotland, celebrated with ceilidh dances, traditional music, Scottish food such as haggis and cranachan, and events across the country.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
