This historical ceremony is based on the tradition of celebrating Scottish heritage, asking God's blessing and protection for those represented by the tartans. Kirkin is the Scottish word for Church and a Tartan is the traditional pattern of unevenly spaced stripes crossing at right angles woven into a woolen fabric that distinguishes the various Scottish Clans. Currently, we see this pattern in scarves, coats, jack- ets, kilts and skirts. After the defeat of the Scots by the English in 1746, wearing of the tartan and keeping any Highland ways or cul- ture was forbidden in order to subdue the rebellious Scottish spirit. The Scots were fervent Christians; they clung to their ancient traditions by putting them underground. It was important to them that on at least one Sunday a year, they went to church wearing a concealed piece of the tar- tan, at a certain moment set aside in the service; the tartan was touched while the minister pronounced a blessing on all tartans, and the Scots pledged their loyalty and respect for their old tradi- tions. Reverend Peter Marshall, the Chap- lain of the U.S. Senate revived the Kirkin' O' the Tartans ceremony in 1943, Marshal wanted to instill pride among Scottish Americans in their Scottish homeland. The ceremony is celebrated today not only in Presbyterian churches but also in other Protestant and Roman Catholic services where the ceremony SECRET WITNESS 529-1268 A program of Tehama County Neighborhood Watch Program, Inc.

Celtic customs are brought to the cere- monies including the tar- tan, the bagpipe, the Kirk, the songs, dances and fid- dles as were heard in Nova Scotia, Canada one sum- mer during their third annual International Gath- ering of the Clans. The Kirkin 'o' the Tar- tan occurs on Reformation Sunday, the Sunday closest to Oct. 31, in acknowl- edgement of Martin Luther's nailing of his Ninety-five theses on the castle church door in Wittenberg, Germany. The Worship Service will begin with a processional led by the Clerk of Session carrying the Beadle (Bible), followed by the United States flag, the Presbyterian Church flag, Banners of faith, the Jefferson Pipe Band featuring bagpipers and drummers, the Presby- terian Church choir, The Pastor, Beth Hoyt will participate in the service. There will be the blessings of individ- uals and families descending from Scottish clans. Traditional Celtic pipe hymns and melodies follow the service, accompa- nied by a coffee hour including tradi- tional Scottish shortbread. In early times, tartan was made of cloth. Also in past times a Highlander wrapped himself up in a plaid, or more properly pronounced "plaide." For many its usage is now called the tartan a "plaid." The Tartan is presently undeniably the national symbol of Scottish dress. However, there are no rules at all about Carolyn Barber who can wear what tartan or what a given tartan should be named or used for, nor are there even rules or regulations about the shades or tints of the colors used within the tartan pattern itself. The Kirkin 'o'Tartan wor- ship service will be held on Sunday, Oct. 30, at the Pres- byterian Church, 838 Jeffer- son Street, Red Bluff. The program will begin with a processional led by the Unit- ed States Flag, the Presbyter- ian Church flag, Banners of faith, the Jefferson Pipe Band featuring bagpipers and drummers, the Presbyterian Church choir, Pastor Beth Hoyt and church lay readers. Traditional Celtic pipe hymns and melodies will be per- formed during and following the ser- vice. All who wish to attend are wel- come. The Presbyterian Church Kirkin 'o' Tartan Bagpipers will begin at 11 a.m. All attending are welcome to wear the tar- tan of their clan or bring a remnant of a plaid. Those who would like further information may call the church at 527-0372.
