July 18 St. Theneva

St. Theneva was a British princess when she became pregnant before marriage. Her family threw her from a cliff (because, you, murdering a pregnant women is less of a sin than adultery). She survived the fall unharmed, and was soon met by an unmanned boat. She knew she had no home to go to, so got into the boat; it sailed her across the Firth of Forth (I do so love saying that out loud) to land at Culross where she was cared for by Saint Serf; he became foster-father of her son, Saint Kentigern.
