Ternan

Ternan

Saint Ternan (sixth century?) is venerated as the "Bishop of the Picts." Not much is known of his life. He may have been consecrated by St. Palladius in 440. Some scholars believe that he may have been a monk at Culross, which had been founded by St. Serf, and that he was a contemporary of Serf. Others state that he was a follower of St. Ninian.

The "Aberdeen Martyrology" mentions "the Gospel of Matthew belonging to St. Ternan", which was enshrined in a metal case or "cumdach" (book shrine).

His feast day is June 12.
