If ever there are walks and candles, sign me up. Am I right? For this special Christmas walk all you need to do is show up at Armory Hall at 5pm on the first Saturday of December. You can experience the Scottish per session that's lead by pipers, flag barers, sword carrier, and other men wearing kilts. You get to walk down to the church with no street lights except the candles lighting your way. When you arrive to St. Bernard's Catholic Church the priest speaks a blessing over the congregassion in both English and Scot's Gaelic. We loved being led by pipers in the singing of amazing grace. It is such a beautiful sight to see so many different people holding candles and praising God. This tradition was started in 1982.
We arrived earlier because it is always better to come early and we asked where to get candles and what to expect. They were so friendly and told us that we were welcome to stay the entire time. After the candle walk most people came back to Armory Hall to enjoy dancing, fellowship, and food. We however decided not to stay but if you have time you sure will feel welcomed here.
