Jan 13: Feast of Kentigern (Mungo) (†612). Monk and bishop, evangelist of Strathclyde and Cumbria. The son of St Teneu (Enoch), he was born in Culross, Fife, and was said to have exchanged pastoral staffs with Columba towards the end of that saint’s life.

Today is the Feast of Glasgow's Patron Saint, St Mungo or Kentigern. The City's arms, which use elements from stories of the saint's life, have spawned dozens of coats of arms for institutions and people associated with the city. 1/4
