overleaf for details.

Saint Margaret, Saint Columba and Saint Andrew

Saint Margaret

Born in Hungary c. 1045, Margaret was an English princess and Scottish Queen, ruling from 1070 to 1093. Margaret was renowned for her piety and generous acts of charity, that included establishing a ferry across the Firth of Forth for pilgrims travelling to St Andrews, she served orphans and the hungry every day before her own meals, she imitated Christ by washing the feet of those less fortunate, and was devoted to prayer. She was canonised in 1250 by Pope Innocent IV.

Saint Columba

St Columba is an Irish missionary and abbot remembered for his scholastic prowess and his achievements in spreading the Gospel to the far corners of Scotland. Named as one of the Twelve Apostles of Ireland, St Columba is revered as a leading figure in the revitalisation of monasticism and his work founding the community of Iona.

Saint Andrew

Patron Saint of Scotland, St Andrew was also brother to St Peter, one of the first disciples to be called by Jesus, and a witness to many of the key events of Jesus’ life. After Christ’s death, resurrection, and ascension into heaven, St Andrew travelled to Greece on a mission of evangelisation, before being sentenced to crucifixion in Patras, Greece. Tradition says that he was bound to a cross shaped like an “X” - as shown on the Scottish flag - as he deemed himself unworthy to be crucified the same way as Christ.
