Kirkin of the Tartans Ceremony
Sunday, November 24, 2019 at 11:00 a.m.

Scots and friends of Scotland are invited, and may wear a clan tartan piece of clothing or carry a piece of tartan material, a banner or flag to receive a kirkin (blessing) as part of the service of worship.

“Kirkin," from the Gaelic word "kirk" which means "church," in this usage means "blessing." In this celebration, the Highlander patriotism, faithfulness and strong independence are remembered by the displaying of tartans and publicly parading them to the sound of the bagpipe, accompanied by prayer, Scripture, preaching, blessing and singing of "Amazing Grace."
