Kirkin' o' the Tartan
– 11
St. Michael’s Parish
“Kirkin’ o’ the Tartan” is a Scottish-American worship service that celebrates the Scottish identity. The name combines “kirk,” the Scottish word for church, and “tartan,” the plaid cloth that symbolizes Scottish clans. The modern service includes bagpipes and a procession of clan banners, and is based on an oral tradition of secretly blessing family tartans during a time when the wearing of tartan was forbidden after the Battle of Culloden.
