St. Andrew’s Day/Saltire
St. Andrew’s Day, November 30th, has become a particular day for celebration in Scotland this year since it is the first time that it has been declared an official holiday.
The Saltire Flag of Scotland will be waved vigorously this day in honor of St. Andrew who is the patron saint of Scotland. Based on the article in the Scotsman, these celebratons will circle the world.
There is a possible political connection to all of this since there is a yet another major move for Scotland to claim its total independence. It would take pages and pages, with historical references, to explain this issue; so I will leave this posting as is.
