Summary/Abstract: The study reconstructs the narrative of Saint Andrew’s apostolate, beginning with the Gospel account of his calling and his missionary journeys around the Black Sea. It also presents a mapping of the three traditional missionary journeys, with an emphasis on the routes through Asia Minor, Scythia Major, and Scythia Minor, analyzing primary and patristic sources (Eusebius, Justin, Origen, apocryphal texts) that attest to the evangelization of the Scythians and his possible presence in Dobruja.
