  • Commemoration Day - June 26, 1999
    Summer 1999 Commemoration Day - June 26, 1999 To commemorate the bicentennial of the death of our nation's First President, the Masonic Grand Lodges of the United States sponsored a special day of historic events, music and fireworks at the George Washington Masonic Memorial. The day was a huge success with thousands of people attending. Nearly all the Grand Lodges of the United States were represented as were several foreign jurisdictions. The event officially began with the firing of a cannon by the First Virginia Regiment of the Continental Line from their "living history" encampment on the grounds of the Memorial. The Regiment presented tactical demonstrations and portrayed camp life during the Revolutionary War. The participants proceeded out of the front entrance of the Memorial to the pipes and drums of the KENA Highlanders. Artillery Crew of the First Virginia Regiment.

  • The 200Th Anniversary of the Grand Lodge of Virginia: Behind the Scenes Allen E
    The 200th Anniversary of the Grand Lodge of Virginia: Behind the Scenes Allen E. Roberts Virginia Research Lodge December 11, 1993 A bit of background will help you to understand my involvement in the events of February 1978, the month the Grand Lodge of Virginia celebrated its 200th year. From 1957 until 1970 I was a member of the Grand Lodge Committee on Masonic Information, Research and Publications. During this period the committee met at least twice a year with all of the Grand Lodge officers. This resulted in the continuity that helped advance the Grand Lodge throughout those years. It meant that each of us on the committee worked closely with those who would become Grand Masters. During much of this period I was Archer Gay's Deputy Grand Secretary. In 1970 I left the committee to work on my own in the field of Masonic education. Later in the year the Grand Master fired me as Deputy Grand Secretary. For the next several years I was asked to do nothing for Masonry in Virginia. Because of my love for the Craft, this would have been devastating to me, but fortunately other Grand Lodges and groups put me to work for them. Among these groups were the General Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons (an organization to which Virginia doesn't belong), and The Masonic Service Association. The latter I had done several things for, mainly because of my love for Conrad Hahn, its Executive Secretary. Together, among several other things, we started producing a series of Masonic leadership films.

  • Richmond-SR-History
    The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite in the Orient of Virginia In the Scottish Rite, each state constitutes an “Orient,” and each city with a Scottish Rite Temple is known as a “Valley,” or separate Scottish Rite organization consisting of four “Bodies” – “The Lodge of Perfection,” which confers the “Ineffable Degrees” (4th through 14th), the “Chapter of Rose Croix” which confers the “Historical and Religious Degrees” (15th through 19th); the “Council of Kadosh” which confers the “Chivalric and Philosophical Degrees” (19th through 30th); and the “Consistory”, which confers the “Official and Ceremonial Degrees” (31st and 32nd). After experiencing all of these Degrees, one becomes a Scottish Rite Mason, or Master of the Royal Secret. This grand order is more than merely a fraternity of good men engaged in benevolent practices of friendship and relief. In Virginia, it is a particularly aggressive and active order, a modern knighthood, and as such is devoted to the cause of Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity. To establish righteousness and ordain mercy, to protect the weak and combat all dogmas or doctrines that would imprison the human spirit. This is the mission of Scottish Rite Masonry. The Scottish Rite seeks to refine within the hearts of men, personal morality and the sentiments of tolerance and fraternity. What has been said in this mission statement is quite vividly portrayed in the conferral of its several Degrees, and the Scottish Rite Mason has devoted his efforts to making the spirit of Masonry prevalent in today’s society. The beginning May 31, 1801, the first Supreme Council of the Thirty-third Degree, the Mother Council of the World, declared its existence with a motto of “Ordo ab Chao” (Order from Chaos).

    Order of the Eastern Star - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 7/22/11 11:40 PM Order of the Eastern Star From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Order of the Eastern Star is a fraternal organization that both men and women can join. It was established in 1850 by Rob Morris, a lawyer and educator from Boston, Massachusetts, who had been an official with the Freemasons. It is based on teachings from the Bible,[1] but is open to people of all theistic beliefs. It has approximately 10,000 chapters in twenty countries and approximately 500,000 members under its General Grand Chapter. Members of the Order are aged 18 and older; men must be Master Masons and women must have specific relationships with Masons. Originally, a woman would have to be the daughter, widow, wife, sister, or mother of a master Mason, but the Order now allows other [2] relatives as well as allowing Job's Daughters, Rainbow Girls, General Grand Chapter logo Members of the Organization of Triangle (NY only) and members of the Constellation of Junior Stars (NY only) to become members when they become of age.

  • A BRIEF HISTORY of LODGE MOTHER KILWINNING No. 0. FOREWORD
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF LODGE MOTHER KILWINNING No. 0. FOREWORD More than fifty years have elapsed since Bro. The Rev. W. Lee Kerr and Bro. Robert Wylie first published their well-known histories of Mother Kilwinning. The books written by them have been out of print for many years and are almost, if not quite, impossible to obtain. Few Lodges can boast of such great traditions as Mother Kilwinning and it is unfortunate that the history of this ancient Lodge is not more widely known. The present pamphlet is an attempt to present some of the more interesting facts about the Mother Lodge to her own members, and to the visitors from all parts of the world whom she always welcomes. It should satisfy the needs of those who are unable to purchase books or spare the time to study them. It should be pointed out that this pamphlet has been compiled entirely from the two histories referred to above and although the facts have been checked where possible the writer does not wish to be held responsible for an controvertible statements which may occur in the originals. S.R. TAILBY. Kilwinning June 1944. A BRIEF HISTORY OF LODGE MOTHER KILWINNING No. 0. The Origin of Freemasonry is not definitely known, although many believe that it originated from the ancient Egyptian religions. It is well known, however, that from very earl times guilds or companies of craftsmen such as carpenters, builders, blacksmiths, etc., have existed in the community and modern Freemasonry may safely be said to originate from these. In the middle ages these merchants guilds became very well organised.
