    Kilts on SeekWisdom.org

    I wasn't sure where this topic might go, so here it is. I just thought this might be of interest to most here. The link below is an article on modesty (the site is a Catholic one); however, if you scroll down the article, there is a good section on kilts, traditional garb of men, and where pants came from. That section is called: Skirts, breeches, and trousers. The quote next to the guy in the kilt is mine. That section is a very good defense of the use of the kilt, in my opinion.

    The Webmaster is a friend of mine.

    That was interesting!

    While I abhor the use of the word 'skirt' in reference to a kilt by people today, I have looked up the Biblical references regarding the OT priests and skirts.

    I've said before that when church people look on my kilt disapprovingly I remind them that the Lord didn't wear trousers!

    That was a great read!

    It is funny that sometimes we forget things like that.

    kilts

    Graham:

    The title in that section now has the word "kilt" added, as well as using the word "kilt" in the introduction to my little quote. Your comments were most helpful. It will be more clear now that a kilt is not a skirt, which was the whole point of that portion of the article.

    Actually, I have a bad habit of making some of my comments so brief that the meaning I wish to convey is lost.

    I'm hoping that wasn't the case with you!
