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.

Knights Templar Holy Land Pilgrimage
The
Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Florida sponsors an
annual "Holy Land Pilgrimage". The purpose of the pilgrimage is
to send Christian Ministers to the Holy Land to enhance their
religious experience. Masonic membership is not required and the
Minister can be male or female. The number of ministers sent
depends on availability of funds. Donations are greatly
appreciated. Note: Due to the situation in Israel, the Grand
Encampment of Knights Templar is analyzing other alternative
sites to visit.
