    All Saints'

    Are there any Anglicans or Episcopalians (or Catholics, too, I think) out there who are planning to wear a kilt to an All Saints' service this week?

    I'm debating it, myself, and looking for a good rationale. I'm deep enough inside the territory of the ignorant to want a justification at hand when the purpose of my attire is questioned, as it inevitably will be. Sadly, my brethen are likely to scowl at our shared sentiment that any reason is a good reason to wear a kilt...

    Tell them you're going to church (mass, whatever) and you want to look your best. It'll work because it's true!

    All Saints Day in the Orthodox Church is in the Spring - the Sunday after Pentecost, but given the chance, I'd definitely honor the saints with a garment covered in crosses!

    Them Episcopals introduced me to my first MUGs, wore a cassok (?) as an alter boy in my youth. Only didn't get the benefit of the freedom, had my itchy wool pants on underneath.

    Proudly Pagan today with a lot of gratitude to that little Episcopal church.

    All Saints...

    I will be wearing my kilt to church this week, but not for the Feast of All Saints or All Souls, but for our annual Kirkin' of the Tartans service on Saturday -- we do have a necrology in the service to remember all who have died, though.

    Regards,

    I'm Roman Catholic, and wear my kilt to church often, and was married in my church in a kilt. I've never recieved a negative reaction from anyone.

    Any day is a good day in a kilt

    Any day is a good day to wear a kilt to Church....

    Wear it proudly and I'm sure you will receive nothing but praise!

    I wear a kilt every Sunday, and I'm one of the church ushers.

    I don't know about All Souls Day, but certainly on St. Andrew's Day.

    I'll be wearing my kilt to the Kirk'n at our church (Presbyterian) on November 18. We are having a Haggis Lunch after the service.
