Andrew St., Of Crete (Or Of Chrysus)

who lived sixty years later than Andreas Cretensis (q.v.), was also born in the island of Crete. When the emperor Constantine Copronymus published a decree against images, Andrew went, to Constantinople, and boldly reproached him with his conduct, which so enraged the monarch, that he ordered him to be hanged; but as Andrew was conveyed to the place of execution, a man wounded him so miserably in the foot that he died of tbhis and other ill-usage. This happened in A.D. 761. The Greeks and Latins commemorate him on Oct. 17. See Bailiet. Oct. 17.
