In your last sentance you mentioned that his remains 733 were taken to St Mary's by St Kentigern. I do not understand that. as St Kentigern was dead by then . There is mention in Wikipedia of St Rule bringing the remains to Scotland. Sorry to be so pedantic I was interested as I live in Glasgow where StMuno is the Patron Saint.

How are you getting on trying to persuade Wikipedia that the Scottish town and former Royal Burgh of St Andrews is in fact a city? Thanks for setting the Saint Andrews day legend straight.

His parents were Jona and Joanna; his brother was Simon. Jona, along with his business-partner and friend Zebedee and his sons James and John, was a fisherman. He'd have spoken Aramaic not Greek. His bones went first to Patros (hence the Greek connection) and then according to legend were brought to Kilrymount (later St Andrews) to St Mary's on the Rock by Kentigern (St Mungo).
