I wore my kilt to church today, too.
My parish, the Church of the Holy Apostles on the Oneida Indian Reservation outside of Green Bay, combines Christ the King Sunday with the feast of the first-called apostle St. Andrew (though they just call it “Father Wears a Kilt Sunday”) and parishioners wear their ribbon shirts or skirts and other regalia.
My thurifer wore his kilt to church for the first time today, so I think I’m being a positive influence.

Nicely done getting others to wear a kilt!
Today was the Afterfeast of the Entrance of the Theotokos into the Temple - the actual Feast was Wednesday night/Thursday but I missed it due to work. I would have worn my kilt then if I could have made it, but since it was still technically going on today I went ahead and wore my kilt. I believe my first post on this forum was from a few years ago after taking my daughters to the service for the Feast of the Entrance of the Theotokos into the Temple and the tea party that parish had for the girls afterwards.

Theotokos makes me think you are Orthodox, is that correct? If so, what patriarchate? I’m Antiochian Orthodox.

I am indeed Orthodox, also under the Antiochian jurisdiction, though I converted in GOArch, and the chivalric order I'm in is technically ROCOR

Well then, Christ is Born!
How was your reception at Church? Did it put off your fellow parishioners, or did they take it in stride?
Do you plan to wear the kilt to services in the future?

Glorify Him!
I've worn my kilt to church before and have gotten compliments from parishioners and priest both. There is a gent who wears a kilt on Pascha (Easter for those who read this and aren't Orthodox). I definitely plan on wearing my kilt again. In fact I wore my kilt for the Christmas service.


This second picture was taken before Liturgy. One of the priests noticed I was taking pictures and offered to take one of me in front of the altar.
And apologies for the second picture being turned sideways. It doesn't appear that way on my phone or computer so I have no idea why it posted that way.
