So who was Saint Enoch?
Enoch was a princess, daughter of a British prince called
Lothus
(from whom the province of Lothian was named). She lived in the 6
th
Cenury
. Her father discovered that she had conceived out of wedlock and sentenced her to death. She was thrown from a cliff but miraculously was found unharmed at the bottom. Not satisfied he then set her adrift in a boat on the Firth of Forth. It was expected that she would die at sea, but God had other plans for the young woman…She landed at Culross, where she was sheltered by Saint Serf. She gave birth to Saint Mungo who became the patron Saint of Glasgow. The original church which was built and later demolished in St Enoch’s Square is thought to the site of her grave. Her feast day is celebrated on the 18
