William Lauder, bishop of Glasgow, drew up a papal supplication #OTD in 1420 to have the relics of Kentigern (c.†614) translated into a ‘chest of gold or silver so that they may be the more devoutly honoured’. Sadly Kentigern’s uncanonised status proved a stumbling block. #medievalsky

I really think the iconography of Kentigern could make more of the whole battling-a-dragon-naked-in-a-river aspect. Try putting *that* on all the Council letterheads and litter bins.

The mural depicts St Enoch holding her young son, Kentigern, St Mungo, who is Glasgow's founder & patron saint. The story goes that the saint restored life to the pet robin. Widely interpreted as a tribute to breastfeeding older children. #StreetArt

The church at Dearham is dedicated to St Mungo (aka. Kentigern) reflecting links with the medieval kingdom of Strathclyde in the Viking Age. An impressive collection of Viking Age & later medieval stones can be viewed here (including Norman font with nice dragon) #medievalsky #cumbria #strathclyde

A children’s rhyme refers to the life of Glasgow’s patron saint, Kentigern, who died in the early 7th century:
Here’s the Bird that never flew,
Here’s the Tree that never grew,
Here’s the Bell that never rang,
Here’s the Fish that never swam.
