Dance Information:
The flag of Scotland, otherwise known as the Saltire, features the cross of St. Andrew, patron saint of Scotland. Tradition holds that St. Andrew, who was an apostle and the brother of St. Peter, was crucified on an X-shaped cross, which is why that has become his symbol. How did he become patron saint of Scotland? Relics of St. Andrew were brought to Scotland in the mid 8th century. At that time, the Picts and Scots were at war with the Angles. The legend states that the king, Óengus II, was heavily outnumbered. While praying on the eve of battle, Óengus vowed that if granted victory he would appoint Saint Andrew as the Patron Saint of Scotland. On the morning of battle, white clouds formed an X shape in the sky, just like the cross on which St. Andrew was crucified. Óengus and his combined force, emboldened by this apparent divine intervention, took to the field, and despite inferior numbers, were victorious. Óengus honoured his pre-battle pledge and appointed Saint Andrew as the Patron Saint of Scotland. The cloud white saltire set against a celestial blue background is said to have been adopted as the design of the flag of Scotland on the basis of this legend.
