 Felly, mae'r ffordd ymlaen i gynnig i'r cyfleidio a'r cyfleidio i'r cyfleidio ymlaen i'r gweithio i'r lleo Cwshly, Argymysiwyr, Andrews a Edinburgh. Felly, dweud hynny, mae'r 30 oed yn ddod i'r cwrnod i'r St Andrews. Mae'r ddod i'r ddod i'r ddod i'r ddod i'r ddod i'r ddod i'r ddod i'r ddod i'r ddod i'r Eyrish, St Patrick ac The Welsh St David. The Welsh found a local lad to celebrate as the national patron. The English have an Armenian soldier, popular among crusaders of the high middle ages. The Irish chose a Britain, maybe even, from what is now Scotland and the Scots have a Galilean fisherman. Who got the best patron? Well, the English picked someone brave and chivalrous. The Welsh picked someone holy. The Irish picked someone fiery and outspoken. And we picked a fisherman. Why a fisherman? Well, I have a theory and it's got nothing to do with smokies, so get comfortable because here it comes. The English used to have Saint Peter as their national patron and he was the first pope. At that time the Scots had Saint Columba as their national patron. Good local choice, but not quite up to competing with the first pope. So the Scots changed their national patron to Saint Andrew. Now Andrew wasn't the first pope but he was the first man called to follow Jesus and in the middle ages that counted for something. Over a thousand years ago his relics were brought to the town now known as St Andrew's and the kings and people of this country built a cathedral in his honour ver. I'm told that for centuries St Andrew's Cathedral was the largest building in the whole of Scotland and pilgrims came from all over Europe to visit it. Today we're still proud of Andrew but in a vague, distant way. Yet he, the university town, his name and his flag all remind us of something that's been here doing a lot of good for a lot of people for many centuries. That's the civilising influence of fair laws, of just courts, of a belief in objective truth, of standards, of behaviour, of mutual respect, of helping others who need a hand. That's probably the best thing about having Andrew as a national patron. No matter your beliefs, there are still one or two of these things that we can all agree are worth holding on to and that are good for us all. So St Andrew, patron of all Scots, pray for us.
