7th century. Saint Theneva was a British princess. When it was discovered that she had conceived out of wedlock, she was thrown from a cliff. Unharmed at the bottom, she was then set adrift in a boat on the Firth of Forth. It was expected that she would die at sea, but God protected her and kept her alive. She landed at Culross, where she was sheltered by Saint Serf and gave birth to Saint Kentigern, named Mungo ("darling") by his foster-father, Serf. She gave her name to Saint Enoch's Square and Railway Station in Glasgow, Scotland, where she is co-patron together with her son (Benedictines, Delaney).
