Quoting from Amazon.com & Amazon.ca : “Designed in the 17th century as the New Jerusalem of the Christian world, the island of Montreal became the new headquarters of a group of mystics that wanted to live as the flawless Primitive Church of Jesus Christ. But they could not do that in the Old World. This books reveals the links between John the Baptist (the Patron Saint of French Canada) , Melchizedek, the first king-priest and a father figure to the Templars and the Essenes.” Air Travel Montreal’s Airport code: YUL 2 Plattsburg, NY is Montreal’s closest U.S. Airport: Plattsburgh International Airport www.flyplattsburg.com The nearest airport to downtown Montreal is the Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport in Dorval.
