Ὁ Ὅσιος Ἰάκωβος
• Holy Hierarch KENTIGERN (Cyndeyrn Garthwys, Kentigernus) known as Mungo, of Strathclyde, Bishop of Glasgow, Wonderworker (603) Apostle of north-west England and south-west Scotland
Ὁ Ἅγιος Κεντιγκέρνος Ἐπίσκοπος Γλασκόβης
Holy Hierarch Kentigern, pray to God for us!
Although called Kentigern (Celtic: "High Lord"), he is equally known as Mungo (Celtic: "My Dear Friend"), a name said to have been given to him by his teacher Bishop St Serf. The name Mungo also means "darling", or "beloved one". He began preaching in Cathures on the Clyde on the site of the city of Glasgow and was consecrated first Bishop of the Strathclyde Britons. Driven into exile, he preached around Carlisle and then went to Wales, where he stayed with St David at Menevia. Together with his mother St Theneva, St Kentigern is venerated as the Patron-Saint of Glasgow. He is also considered the apostle of northwestern England and southwestern Scotland. Together with Sts Columba of Iona and Ninian of Whithorn he is also considered to be one of the Greatest Saints and Enlighteners of the Scottish Land.
The following verse is used to remember Mungo's four miracles:
Here is the bird that never flew
Here is the tree that never grew
Here is the bell that never rang
Here is the fish that never swam
The verses refer to the following:
The Bird — Mungo restored life to a robin, that had been killed by some of his classmates.
The Tree — Mungo had been left in charge of a fire in Saint Serf's monastery. He fell asleep and the fire went out. Taking a hazel branch, he restarted the fire.
The Bell — the bell is thought to have been brought by Mungo from Rome. It was said to have been used in services and to mourn the deceased. The original bell no longer exists, and a replacement, created in the 1640s, is now on display in Glasgow.
The Fish — refers to the story about Queen Languoreth of Strathclyde who was suspected of infidelity by her husband. King Riderch demanded to see her ring, which he claimed she had given to her lover. In reality the King had thrown it into the River Clyde. Faced with execution she appealed for help to Mungo, who ordered a messenger to catch a fish in the river. On opening the fish, the ring was miraculously found inside, which allowed the Queen to clear her name.
• KESSOG (Makessog) // MAR 10 //
• Venerable MAXIMUS 玛克西默 Kapsokalivitos (the Hut Burner), of Kapsokalyvia Skete Mt Athos (1365) a unique ascetic, a wonder-working intercessor and "an angel in the flesh"
Ὁ Ὅσιος Μάξιμος ὁ Καυσοκαλυβίτης
One day, he was told in a dream to go to the summit of Athos to receive (like Moses) the tablets of the spiritual law. He prayed continuously atop the Holy Mountain for three days, after which the Mother of God appeared to him surrounded by angels. She gave him a miraculous loaf for his sustenance and told him to live in solitude on the wild slopes of Mount Athos. Henceforth he lived apart, barefoot in all weather. He would build himself crude shelters of branches and brush; after living in one for a short time he would burn it and move to a new place. Thus he received the name Kavsokalybites "the Hut Burner" from the other monks, who dismissed him as a madman.
