==Miracles==<!-- This section is linked from [[Glasgow]] --> [[File:GlasgowButeHallStKentigern.jpg|thumb|Saint Mungo (University of Glasgow)]] In the ''Life of Saint Mungo'', he performed four miracles in Glasgow. The following verse is used to remember Mungo's four miracles: {{poemquote|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<ref name=scotsman>{{Cite web|url=https://www.scotsman.com/whats-on/arts-and-entertainment/st-mungo-and-his-mysterious-deeds-2511057|title=St Mungo and his mysterious deeds|website=www.scotsman.com}}</ref>}} The [[Verse (poetry)|verse]]s refer to the following: * ''The Bird'': Mungo restored life to a robin that had been killed by some of his classmates.<ref name=hale/> * ''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.<ref name=foghlam>[http://www.educationscotland.gov.uk/scotlandshistory/britonsgaelsvikings/kentigern/index.asp "Kentigern", Foghlam Alba] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140506215203/http://www.educationscotland.gov.uk/scotlandshistory/britonsgaelsvikings/kentigern/index.asp |date=6 May 2014 }}</ref> * ''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 dead. 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. (This story may be confused with an almost identical one concerning King [[Maelgwn Hir ap Cadwallon|Maelgwn]] of Gwynedd and [[Saint Asaph]].)
