Happy St. Andrew's Day!

| The saltire cross of St. Andrew - legend says that Andrew was martyred on a cross of this shape |
To all of you with any Scottish blood in your veins (like myself - my mother descends from the Clan MacLean of Duart Castle on the Isle of Mull), may you rejoice today in the blessed patronage of St. Andrew over the ancient land called Alba by the Romans. Of course, if you wish to know a bit more about why Andrew, the Galilean brother of Peter, is the patron saint of Scotland, then you need to study some history. Visit the National Archives of Scotland to find some scholarly background.

And pull out your bagpipes this afternoon for a quick toot. Your neighbors will love it, I promise!
