==Oral traditions, legends, and legacy==
In the "Life of Saint Mungo," he performed four religious renowned miracles in Glasgow. The following , memorialized in this 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 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. An almost identical story concerns King Maelgwn of Gwynedd and Saint Asaph.
In American Orthodox Christian publications, the 2001 St. Herman Calendar (from the St. Herman of Alaska Press) featured St. Kentigern Mungo on its cover.
