Kirk (Gaelic) = Church (English), The English "translation" is "Churching of the Tartan" meaning a blessing on the tartans. Since the Episcopal Church in the US owes so much of its existence to the Scots, this ceremony is often still practised around St. Andrew's Day in November in Episcopal/Anglican churches in North America.
Very enjoyable and wonderful to see! I'm of Scots descent and bagpipes stir up my blood! It was entirely enjoyable, except for the priestess at the start.
*sigh* Why do Americans always have to come up with unspeakably vulgar stuff like this? I can't think of a single church in Scotland that would do something as tacky as this ...
Do tell what is so "unspeakably vulgar" about this? Do you have any idea what this is? You obviously have no clue, or no Celtic blood, or you would be roused by this wonderful display of our heritage. Vulgar is the Egyptian bodybuilders on your favorites, you weirdo!
Beautiful! What is the tune they were playing?
