Today, January 14th is the feast day of St. Mungo who is the patron of Glasgow.  The Scottish monk came to the aid of his queen who had lost the ring of the king.  One of Mungo's monks went fishing and immediately caught a salmon with the ring in its mouth.  Mungo was less popular, however, with his flock, and it has been suggested that his name Mungo meaning "darling" was bestowed in irony.  He died while taking a bath.
