Class Recitation*

Me: According to tradition, St. Andrew, the Protoclete (Πρωτόκλητος), whose feast day we celebrate on November 30, was persecuted on a cross of the form called ‘crux decussata’. What letter in the alphabet depicts that cross?

Student: Ahh…ahhh… Z-shaped cross?

Me: [huh? Paano?]

San Ándres, ipanalangin mo kami!
