Saint Constantine

The convergence of temporal power and spiritual sacrifice is a rare occurrence in the annals of the Church, yet it defines the life of this Scottish monarch. To be a king in the early medieval period was to hold the fate of a people in one's hands; to be a martyr was to offer that life back to God. This figure, known as Constantine, embodies both roles, standing as a unique testament to the faith that took root in the rugged highlands during the age of Columba.
