Knights Templar

The Knights Templar is the final order joined in the York Rite, and the only, not to deal with Hiramic Legend. Also, unlike other Masonic bodies which only require a belief in a Supreme Being regardless of religion, membership in the Knights Templar is open only to Freemasons who profess a belief in the Christian religion and who have completed their Royal Arch and in some jurisdictions their Cryptic degrees. 


This body is modeled on the historical Knights Templar and hopes to carry on the spirit of their organization. Throughout history it has been claimed that Freemasonry itself was founded by the Knights Templar or that the Knights Templar took refuge in Freemasonry after their persecution. The Grand Encampment of Knights Templar, U.S.A. acknowledges the existence of these theories but states that there is no proof to justify such claims.   


A  local Knights Templar unit is called a Commandery and operates under a  state level Grand Commandery as well as The Grand Encampment of the  United States. This is unique among Masonic bodies as most report to the  state level alone. The Knights Templar confer three orders as opposed  to the standard degree system found elsewhere in Freemasonry:

          

  • The Illustrious Order of the Red Cross
  • |The Mediterranean Pass
  • The Order of Malta  (Knights of Malta)
  • The Order of the Temple (Knights Templar)
