Most people think the Knights Templar were warriors.
Their original purpose was actually to protect pilgrims travelling to the Holy Land from robbery, attack, and danger on the roads to Jerusalem.
What fascinates you most about the Templars?
Most people have heard of Hugh de Payens, but few know the name Godfrey de Saint-Omer.
As one of the original founders of the Knights Templar, he helped build an Order founded on service, discipline, loyalty and the protection of others.⚔️

🌞 Fantastic day today at the Knights Templar Provincial Grand Priory in Blackpool! It was a hot one, and wearing all the regalia was uncomfortable at times, but it was definitely worth it. What an excellent spectacle!
It’s been an interesting week Masonically.
On Tuesday, I travelled to Keswick in Cumberland for a Knights Templar Installation. Then on Thursday, I was in Clayton-le-Moors to hear an excellent explanation of the Second Degree Tracing Board.
One of the things I love about Freemasonry is that there is always something new to learn and good company to share it with.
Where has your Masonic journey taken you this week?
