Coat of Arms at St. Mungo Cathedral. Our thanks goes Margaret Sainte Claire of Glasgow for discovering this Coat of Arms in the St. Mungo Cathedral in Glasgow. The arms are in the Lower Church on a pillar near the tomb of St Mungo. The Lower Church is one of the chief glories of medieval Scottish architecture. In the center stands the shrine of St. Mungo, patron saint of Glasgow who died in 603. To this sacred spot thousands of pilgrims made their way in medieval times. In 1451 the pope declared it to be as meritorious to make a pilgrimage to Glasgow Cathedral as to Rome itself. See another view of the Coat of Arms.
