A Kist o Wurds celebrates all things Ulster Scots.

A Kist o Wurds, presented by Helen Mark, celebrates all things Ulster Scots.

Helen Mark opens up the Easter Kist with Carole Gilmore in Portavogie, who has tales of colouring and rolling eggs at a time when Easter cards were unknown. Gibson Young reads the Easter story from the Ulster Scots version of Matthew's Gospel, and Charlie Gillen has some thoughts on eggs - those made of chocolate and those laid by hens. Willie Drennan drops by and tells Helen about the Titanic Fife and Drum Band that is taking part in Easter carnival parades.
