Kilted Clergy Question

[Panache]

And thanks for the "You count as well" statement.

You shouldn't be too surprised, we are after all the Ladies and Gentlemen of X Marks the Scot.

...Heck, she can't wrap her brain around the fact that Catholic are Christian, but that's another matter for another thread.

Or not

Cheers

Yes sir, it sure is, and what a great community.

Just use a tartan that uses all the Liturgical colors together.

The Clergy tartan is the one worn by the Wiccan minister that attends our some of our Unitarian-Universalist services. I wear the Clergy tartan on those occasions that I lead the service. I am not a minister, just a lay leader of the Parish. The rest of the time I am either in Irish National or Lamont Modern. The avatar picture was taken by my spouse when I had returned from Church one Sunday.

I'm not sure I understood what you ment by "season," Pipesndrumsnun. I'm sorry, and probably didn't answer the question that you are asking. Hope you get lots of feedback on this.

* Probably shouldn't have posted in this thread, and I'm sorry.

Spandex Rule

Just because it can be done, doesn't mean it should be done.

A better solution might be to start with the Black Watch tartan, and add some stripes (red, white, purple). A more subdued look, but should work.

Should.

Pipesndrumsnun, you said a "purple kilt" in your first post. Does purple have a meaning in your faith? I'm also wondering what the blue, white, and black in the clergy tartan mean if anything. The colors would have meaning in mine if they are being used for spiritual work.

* I'm sorry again that I posted here, butI kind of wanted to understand why the colors were important. Hope I haven't caused any trouble.

Ted,

The colours refer to the Church year. Some churches (Roman Catholic, Episcopalian/Anglican, Lutheran, etc.) divide the year into different seasons which are represented by different colours. These colours are used in vestements and in the church itself (on the altar, pulpits, lecterns, etc.)

For example, purple is traditionally associated with the season of Lent.

Ok, thanks cajunscot.

* And as I have put in my other posts, I was just wondering what the colors ment to Pipesndrumsnun. I don't really belong in this thread. Very sorry.

The colors have a symbolism behind them
Violet/Purple = color of penance/preparation for Lent & Advent.
Red = fire, also blood. for Pentecost (the Holy Spirit) and also Martyrs.
White/Gold/Silver=celebration, Christmas Easter, commemorations of Christ, Virgin Mary, Saints who were not martyrs.
Green = renewal, growth. for 'Ordinary time' (when no major festivals occur, a season of prayer & self-growth. Ordinary time is the longest 'season')
Some countries use Blue for the Virgin Mary; some Anglicans use it for Lent & Advent.
Black = Dignity, Mourning; used to be worn for funerals, but these days white is the norm (to celebrate eternal life).

The Clergy Tartan White /Blue/ Black;
Black was worn by Clergy because it used to be the cheapest cloth, and reflected the simple lifestyle. White for purity of service, blue, colour of humility. The Clergy ideal...
