The icon "Andrew the First-Called" in the kiosk

Saint Andrew is called the First-called because he was called the first of the apostles and disciples of Jesus Christ. St. Andrew the First–called is the patron saint of professions related to the sea. They pray to Him for the protection of those who sail. The saint also patronizes translators and teachers of a foreign language. The parents of the daughters and the girls themselves ask St. Andrew the First-Called for a successful marriage. This icon is used to bless the firstborn for childbirth. If this is done, then the firstborn is born very easily. He will be endowed with good health and a great mind. The mother blesses the newborn, hugging her head and womb three times. A woman who is born must kiss the icon.

In front of the icon of St. Andrew the First-Called, the patron saint of sailors and fishermen, they ask for protection in families where people of maritime professions live. To protect sailors on a long voyage, before the crew goes to sea, relatives and friends order a prayer service to St. Andrew the First-Called in the church. Prayer services are held before the sea campaign and in the navy, right on the ship, so that the Lord, through the intercession of St. Andrew the First-Called, would help their successes in the military campaign, contribute to His protection of the actions of the research vessel, fishermen in Putin, and so on.

They also pray to St. Andrew the First-Called for the protection of the chastity of their daughters and for the Lord to help them find a good groom. The Holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called is the patron saint of Russia, Ukraine, Greece, Sicily, Romania, Scotland and the city of Amalfi in Italy, therefore, in these countries we are especially revered, and prayer in front of his icon helps as an intercessory prayer for the Fatherland, they also pray to him asking for help in converting to the Holy Faith of Christ.
