Orthodox Bagpiper
OC.Net Guru
I was just curious why some of you chose your alias/O.C net name. Judging by most of your posts, there was some thought put into the decision of picking your name (except for Nacho
). I was curious to hear what your stories are.
I chose Orthodox Bagpiper because I am of Scots/Irish decent (not to mention German, British, French, American Indian and a wee bit of Russian). I have more Irish than anything in me (although I probably look more German). Anyway, I have always been in love with the Celtic culture. I have my own kilt with my families tartan and I play the bagpipes (even though I have gotten rusty since moving to Missouri).
Back in the Charismatic Episcopal church I used to wear my kilt and lead a bagpipe processional of the congregation into the church. It was a lot of fun. No more bagpipes in the Orthodox church (although we do use the Ison; that's close enough of a drone for me!)
I'm still waiting to see an icon of St. Patrick on an Iconastasis. Mabey one day when America becomes more Orthodox!
