This week, The Duke of Edinburgh attended the Kirking of the Scottish Parliament. 🕯️ The evening before the start of a new session of Parliament, a multi-faith service takes place at St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh. Kirking is a Scots word meaning ‘going to church’. The Kirking is adapted from a Christian ceremony performed in the Parliament of Scotland in the Middle Ages, and was restarted as a multi-faith service when the new Scottish Parliament was established in 1999.
