Church in a Kilt tonight

**Prester John** · 17th March 06, 03:24 PM

Well, friends, I'm going to the Pre-Sanctified Liturgy of St. Gregory the Great tonight, kilted beneath my cassock, in honor of St. Patrick (he was a Scot, you know, and there's green in the Robertson Red).

You can hear us live at http://inbn.net

or just click this: http://inbn.serverroom.us:8870/listen.pls

It should be worth it. The Lenten Potluck to follow will NOT be broadcast, and, no, our bishops do not give a dispensation for meat on a Friday in Lent.

God bless you all, and be safe today!

Father John, I hope you have a wonderful evening. Happy St. Patrick's day, and enjoy the potluck dinner.

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,

Ron

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!

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!!
