Blessed Andrew died in the year 936 at the age of 66.
== Revelations of Andrew ==
There are several prophecies during the Byzantine era, that the fall of Constantinople marks "the end of times". These end of times prophecies were being repeated during the 14th and 15th centuries but they clearly appear during the 10th century whilst the Byzantium period was strong. The destruction of Constantinople, is described in the original ''Life of Andrew the Fool'' , which gives further information about this. A disciple of Andrew, claims that the Church of St. Sophia will survive a great flood by "floating over waters". Andrew explains that only the column (the obolisk) will survive because beneath its foundations the holy nails which were used to crucify [[Christ]] are contained. In this prophecy called '''"the Revelation of Andrew"''', he basically says that "with the end of this city [Constantinople], the end of the world won’t take long to come".
