who was crucified on an x shaped cross?
andrew
andrew is said to have been martyred by crucifixion at the city of patras (patræ) in achaea. early texts, such as the acts of andrew known to gregory of tours, describe andrew as bound, not nailed, to a latin cross of the kind on which jesus is said to have been crucified; yet a tradition developed that andrew had been crucified on a cross of the form called "crux decussata" (x-shaped cross, or "saltire"), now commonly known as a "saint andrew's cross" — supposedly at his own request, as he deemed himself unworthy to be crucified on the same type of cross as jesus had been. the iconography of the martyrdom of andrew — showing him bound to an x-shaped cross — does not appear to have been standardized until the later middle ages.

 james d. watson, francis crick, and others hypothesized that dna had a helical structure. this implied that dna's x-ray diffraction pattern would be 'x shaped'. this prediction followed from the work of cochran, crick and vand (and independently by stokes). the cochran-crick-vand-stokes theorem provided a mathematical explanation for the empirical observation that diffraction from helical structures produces x shaped patterns.
