St. Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland. And St. Andrew's Day is a Scottish Holiday. 

Last night at midnight as the day changed from the 29th to the 30th of November, young single woman might have peeled an apple so the peel stayed in one piece and threw it over their shoulder it would have formed in the shape of the first letter of the name of their future husband. Or if they dropped molten lead or candle wax in a pail of water it would form in a shape that would reveal the occupation of their husband to be.
