Chivalric Orders
ORDER OF RED CROSS
Here again we revert to the period of the Royal Arch Degree when the Jews were returning from Babylon
to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple. One of their number prevails upon King Darius to restore the Holy
Vessels to the new Temple. They had been carried away by the Babylonian armies when the first Temple
was destroyed. In presenting his plea before the king, the companion gives a powerful testimony
to the almighty force of Truth.
ORDER OF MALTA AND THE MEDITERRANEAN PASS
Shifting to the time of the Crusades, admission to the Mediterranean Pass is sought so that a safe pilgrimage to the
Holy Sepulcher might be undertaken.This is a sublime and sacred Order, which culminates in the enrollment of the
suppliant as a Knight of Malta.
ORDER OF THE TEMPLE
No Degree or Order in Masonry is more solemn, impressive or soul-searching than the Order of the Temple. It is a
fitting climax to the labors of the humble penitent, who has faithfully performed the symbolic seven years of
preparation for this consummation of his endeavors. He is knighted as a Christian warrior.
Commandery's Charities

number of ministers sent depends on availability of funds. Donations are greatly appreciated.
