On November the Fifthe 2005, a large number of people was seen gathering at the McDeL barn to remember all those who were martyred for the cause of "Christ's Crown and Covenant". Yes, it was a grand gathering for the memory of Scottish Covenanters! Plaids and hearty Scottish food were abundant that evening, along with Sco'ish brogues, a Hay Bale Toss, a Covenanter game and documentary.
The crowning touch was a bowl of "William of Orange Slices", which was Mrs. DeL's idea! The crowning touch at the last Martyr party was a bowl of "Indulgences"candy bars for the Reformation era, and the 2003 Martyr party had a tin of "Corinthian"cookie sticks for the Roman era. It is the little things that make every event special!
To make the evening truly authentic, Mr. Yachanin (head of the percussion section of the orchestra) brought a Celtic bagpiper to play for us! Accompanied by the Yachanin family, the piper played a few selections including "Scotland, the Brave", and "Amazing Grace". What a treat!
