Know about the degrees and teachings offered in Knights Templar

by Collection Masonic Manufacturer

Freemasonry can trace its root back to as early as eighteenth century when there were Knights Templar. For any Mason to completely understand about their fraternity, they should know about the Knights Templar first; from where they came and what relevance its degrees hold.

The Knights Templar also referred as the Order of the Temple of Solomon is perhaps considered as the most important order to understand the history and ancestors of Freemasonry. This order derives its name from the military unit in the crusades present in the medieval times.

The knights Templar order does not have any direct lineage to the historical Knights Templar and either exists within the York Rite or also as a separate organization. Similarly, to the Freemasonry, this Knights Templar order also follows the standard degree system. In York Rite, it grants three orders and one preparatory degree. These are:

·         The Illustrious Order of the Red Cross

·         The Passing Order of St. Paul

·         The Order of the Knights of Malta

·         The Order of the Temple

When the independent Knights Templar organization is considered, it grants only three degrees. These are:

·         The Degree of Knights Templar

·         The Degree of Knights of St. Paul

·         The Degree of Knight of Malta

What are the teachings offered in these orders and degrees?

The Illustrious Order of the Red Cross bestows the lesson of truth. It is also considered as the transitional degree from the Royal Arch Masonry to the Chivalric Masonry. The insignia for this order is a green seven-pointed star which has a golden ring comprising the motto “Magna est veritas, et praevalebit or “Great is truth and it will prevail”. Inside of this golden ring, a red Greek cross is present and its each arm represent Truth, Deity, Justice and Liberty.

The Pass Order of Knight of St. Paul is conferred as a perquisite to the Knight of Malta. This order is also referred as the Passing Degree of Mediterranean Pass. The teachings of this order are about the faithful martyr of Christianity.
