Kirkin o' the tartans

At the 9:00am service this Sunday, November 20, Saint Philip’s will participate in the traditional, annual ceremony of blessing the tartans.

Regardless of one’s heritage, the tartan is a symbol of love and togetherness. In the Kirkin' service, ancient times, as well as past and present kin, are remembered while asking God's help and blessings in the future.

Anyone with a tartan or kilt is invited to bring it to church on Sunday and to participate in the blessing ceremony. The Tucson Highlanders will offer bagpipe music throughout the service.
