Saint Andrew's Day to humans. A human hearing a wolf speak to him will die. Saint Andrew is also the patron saint of Romania and the Romanian Orthodox Church. In Póvoa de Varzim, an ancient fishing town in Portugal there's Cape Santo André (Portuguese for Saint Andrew), a place that shows evidence of Romanization and of probable earlier importance, with hints of stone age paintings. Near the cape there are small pits in a rock, a mystery stone, that the people believe these are footprints of Saint Andrew. Saint Andrew Chapel is of probable medieval origin, referenced in 1546 and in earlier documents.
