Kirkin' on Reformation Sunday
As a further twist on this my Presbyterian Church [and probably others] has taken to celebrating the Scottish roots of the Reformation on Reformation Sunday.
Yes I know the Reformation started in Germany [Lutheran] but it flourished quite well in England and Scotland [Presbyterian]. For those of you who do not know Reformation Sunday is the first Sunday in November in honor of Martin Luthers' posting of the 95 Thesis on the Whittenberg door on All Saints Day [1 November] initiating the Reformation of the Christian Church.
We do not have enough interest in my church to actually do a Kirkin' of the Tartan but the service today will have a very Scottish feel to it including a live piper [the pastors son is in an internationally recognized youth pipe band] and possibly a telling of Peter Marshalls story of the Kirkin'. Unfortunately I have to work so I will not be there but I did wear my kilt and Crael jacket today in honor of the Reformation and Peter Marshall.
