Church in a Kilt tonight

[Prester John]

Well, I'm back.

Everyone applauded when I came down from the Church proper into the Church all, kilt and all. Remember, since Christmas, with the exception of one week, one of my boys has come to Liturgy kilted every Sunday.

One of my readers, and a catechumen, said to their wives that they, also, would be getting a kilt soon!

Just curious (I'm Pagan, don't follow the Christian stuff) if all our kilted saints in Celtic lands knew each other? Did St. George, St. Andrew, St. Patrick and St. David hang around and support each other, debate each other, work together, or were they from seperate eras.

Maybe this is more off topic...but we do celebrate the birthdays(?) of all but St. George by kilting up....there was a St. George...right...?

Serious.

Thanks,

Fr. John,

Good for you! You may already know this, but there are authorized "clergy tartans"

Clergy Tartans

They look quite smart. Not even the bishop could find fault about that!

The only one of these questions I can answer is that yes, St. George is the Patron Saint of England. Would like to hear the other answers though.

I applaud you, for a fantastic flare of Kilt wearing, well done!

[Paul Henry]

It's very unlikely that the Saints knew each other!, if they did I dare sare that they wouldn't all have agreed with each anyway...!!

St George might the the patron saint of England, but he wasn't english
St Patrick might be the patron saint of Ireland , but he wasn't Irish
St David does appear to be Welsh!
and St Andrew appears to come from Galilee!!

but as an Ovate, the Christian saints are of interest to me only periphally!!

I have worn my Kilt to church on several occasions with many positive comments. But last Sunday, My pastor leaned oover the pew to tell me not to bend over when taking communion. I almost told him where to go. He is leaving anyway, but for that comment, he can leave sooner.

I wear my kilt to church every Sunday just like I wear a kilt every single day. Why change for Sunday? And no one has a problem with it at all.
