The
inception of Freemasonry dates back to 18th century and till now has a long
list of esteemed members that would make any organization proud. This
fraternity is a perfect example of brotherly love, fellowship and mutual help.
Every member in the organization is given a certain level of respect knowing
the fact that high standards are followed in building their membership. This
makes Masonic regalia, pieces of high significance as only a chosen few are
seen fit to wear regalia.
In
the history, Knights Templars were known as the poor fellow soldiers of Christ
of the Temple of Solomon. The organization of Knights Templar was officially
recognized by the Roman Catholic Church between the year 1125 and 1130. They were the most famous Christian military
in the western lands which had been in the existence for almost two centuries
in the middle ages. They were the most skilled units which used to fight in
battles in the crusades. These knights used to dress in white mantles which had
a red cross on the front.
Knights
Templar regalia
A
member has to be a professed Christian before being eligible to wear the Knights
Templar regalia. This is the reason which makes it a controversial organization
as it is often criticized for being more of a Christian organization rather
than a Masonic organization. The primary Knights Templar regalia include the
classic Templar robes. Earlier, the robes were white or sand-colored and had a
red cross on the left shoulder. But in this modern era, the regalia include
robes in beige color and a red waistcoat as a reminder of the Red Cross used in
medieval times. Knights Templar also used to wear rings. Nowadays, they are the oldest type of
Masonic ring are the Knights
Templar rings. Rings are elegant pieces of
Masonic jewelry that are worn on daily as well as on special occasions. They are
crafted with great detail and the most popular materials used for making them
are stainless steel, titanium, silver and gold. Newly entered apprentices
mostly wear rings with traditional designs. As they grow in the organization,
they go for custom-made pieces. The price range varies and the person can
choose according to their taste and preference.
