oops quick fix from earlier
We were wrong the statue is not of St. Andrew however it is of Volodoymyr the Baptizer he inherited the Kyivan-Rus (Kiev) empire from his grandmother and he wanted to unite the empire under one faith in 988. He united his Empire under the Orthodox Christianity unlike the questions that arise with Constantine faith and whether he did it for a stronger empire or because he truly believed, Volodoymyr the Baptizer believed!!! He led by example and soon his patrons fallowed. His statue was erected in 1853. I tell you there is just so much to learn, I love it!!!!!

Thanks for sharing all this interesting pictures and facts you are learning. So glad you had a wonderful day. You two are locked together already so it will be cool to know that you will have a part of the bridge when you get a lock. Keep the faith! Love you,
