I know it has been mentioned on another thread but happy St George's day to all Englishmen  :drinks:
( yes I know there will be people who say he wasn't English that he was a Turk or Roman but we don't celebrate our patron saint like the Irish, Scottish or Welsh do )

 "necessarily"?

Wasn't St. Andrew a Galilean fisherman?

 St. Patrick was either Welsh or at least pre Anglo Saxon British.

St Andrew, on of the 12 apostles was indeed a fisherman who was born in Palestine and died c60ad, and is buried in Turkey.

St Patrick was a romano-British missionary who is credited with converting Ireland to Christianity.
