Andrew the Scot

Andrew the Scot was born in Ireland near the beginning of the ninth century to a noble family.

[1] When Donatus and Andrew arrived at Fiesole the people were assembled to elect a new bishop.

The girl had been paralysed and the doctors were unable to help her so their father asked Andrew to come and pray for her.

Many other miracles were performed by him over the course of his deaconship in Fiesole: casting out demons, healing the blind, and the sick.

The bishop encouraged Andrew to restore the church of San Martino di Mensola and to found a monastery there.
