Covenanters, Christians and bagpipes Red Bluff will again welcome the Kirkin O’ the Tartan and the Jeffer- son Bag Pipe Band on Sunday, Oct. 31. The celebration ceremony has become an annual event in memory of the Scottish Highlanders. The Kirkin O’ the Tartan became known in the United States when the Rev. Peter Marshall O’ the Tartan pre- sented the first Kirkin in 1941 at the New York Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C. Marshall was a U.S. Senate chaplain and pastor of the N.Y. Presbyterian Church. Mar- shall used this ceremony to promote solidarity among American-born and native-born Scots who once again faced conflict in the form of World War II. History draws us to the times during the 1660s and 1670s when Scottish Presbyterians held secret outdoor meetings, known as con- venticles due to persecution by the government. The Covenanters post- ed armed look-outs at these conven- ticles to warn of approaching gov- ernment forces coming to break-up the meeting and arrest the partici- pants. Persons who attended the ille- gal gatherings, instead of services held by the State Church, could be fined, jailed, tortured and in some cases, executed. There were times when armed guards had to position themselves in the four corners of the Church. The minister could not begin his sermon until an officer shouted "All Clear!" Peter Marshall’s Presby- terian background, and the fact that he came from Southwestern Scotland, the home to many Covenan- ters, led to musing that the Cameronian conventicles (place of hiding for Scot- tish Covenanters) provided an inspiration for the ori- gins of the Kirkin’ service. In 1746, Scottish people were denied the right to wear the kilt, plaid or any tartan garment. Bagpipes, as well were banned, and defied as a weapon, in the colonies this went on for almost 40 years. If any Scottish people disobeyed the law in the highlands, they were per- secuted. During this time the women of the highland clans, whose men were far from home, would take a small piece of their tartan (clothing) to the Kirk (church) to be secretly blessed and to pray for heaven’s protection for their clan and its members. They often took small swatches or pieces of the plaid tartan material in their pockets so that they could quietly pass them to the minister for prayer. Today Chris- tians don’t have to be secret about wanting the minister to share in our prayers. It is always important for us to have the privilege to pray private- ly or openly. Churches across the United States and Canada hold Carolyn Barber Kirkin O’ the Tartans; some of those churches are Presbyter- ian, Episcopalian, Methodist, Roman Catholic and other denominations. Red Bluff’s local Pres- byterian Church will be inviting the Jefferson Pipe Band of Redding to be a part of Reformation Sun- day on Oct. 31. The Jefferson Pipe Band brings a dynamic atmosphere to the service as the Scottish pipe music embraces the original meaning of the Scottish traditions and the movement of Christians during hard times. Hearing them is a fresh renewal of optimism during today’s difficult times. Those who attend the local Kirkin O’ the Tartan are welcome to wear plaids repre- senting clans or plaids of choice in acknowledging the events of the day. The public is invited to attend this dynamic event; Rev. Beth Witti- er, of the Red Bluff Presbyterian Church will be conducting the ser- vice the worship starts at 11 a.m. on Sunday Oct. 31, at the Presbyterian Church, 838 Jefferson St. Carolyn Barber has been writing her column in the Daily News since 1992.
