St
Ninian Stained Glass Window - SMC094
At
clerestory level on the south side of St Magnus Cathedral
is a stained glass window of St Ninian.
St Ninian is known as the first Apostle of Christianity in
Scotland. He was a bishop and founded a monastery at Whitorn.
According to Bede, Ninian converted the southern Picts to
Christianity.
As St Ninian dedicated a church to St Martin, who died in
397, his mission to the southern Picts must have been in the
late fourth century. St Ninian died around 432.
