Beginning in the 17th-century Scotland, when Covenanters met in open defiance of religious repression, open-air communions - the Sàcramaid - evolved to become the social and spiritual highlight of the year. Primarily a mixture of prayer and religious and kinship feasting, open-air communions were an expression of core communal values and basic kin and religious loyalties.
