HAPPY ST. JOHN'S DAY..

Today is the day we pay homage to Saint John the Baptist and Saint John the Evangelist. Together, they represent the patron saints of Freemasonry.

Freemasons celebrate two St. John's Day feasts each year, one on June 24th in honor of St. John the Baptist and one on December 27th in honor of St. John the Evangelist. These days are considered two of the most important dates on the Masonic calendar and are often marked with celebratory dinners or other events.

St. John the Baptist is considered one of Freemasonry's patron saints and has had a strong influence on the fraternity for generations. In the Masonic tradition, he is also recognized as the patron saint of the Medieval stonemasons of Europe. The Grand Lodge of England was officially formed on June 24th, 1717 to celebrate the feast day of St. John the Baptist, making this day especially significant in Masonic history.

Masonic scholars believe that the custom of associating these saints with Freemasonry comes from the practice of new Masons taking their obligations while holding a Bible open to the first chapter of the Gospel of John. The two saints are also said to represent a well-balanced path to enlightenment, with their feast days closely linked to the summer and winter solstices. In Christianity and Masonry, St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist are also represented by two parallel lines that touch the outside of a circle, with the point representing an individual brother and the circle representing the boundary of his duty to God and others.

The Lambskin
A Poem by Edgar A. Guest

It is not ornamental, the cost is not great. There are other things far more useful, yet truly I state; tho of all my possessions, there’s none can compare, with that white leather apron, which all Masons wear.

As a young lad I wondered just what it all meant. When Dad hustled around, & so much time was spent on shaving, dressing & looking just right, until Mother would say, “It’s the Masons tonight.”

& some winter nights she said, “What makes you go way up there tonight thru the sleet & the snow. You see the same things every month of the year.” Then Dad would reply, “Yes, I know it, my dear.”

Forty years I have seen the same things, it is true. & though they are old, they always seem new. For the hands that I clasp, & the friends that I greet, seem a little bit closer each time that we meet.”

Years later I stood at that very same door, with good men & true who had entered before. I knelt at the altar, & there I was taught that virtue & honor can never be bought.

That the spotless white lambskin all Masons revere, if worthily worn grows more precious each year. That service to others brings blessings untold, that man may be poor tho surrounded by gold.

I learned that true brotherhood flourishes there. That enmities fade beneath the compasses & square. That wealth & position are all thrust aside, as there on the level, men meet & abide.

So honor the lambskin, may it always remain forever unblemished, free from all stain, & when we are called to the Great Father’s love, may we all take our place in that Celestial Lodge up above.

Did you know that April is the Month of the Miltary Child? Every April, all month long, let's celebrate the courage, perseverance and tenacity demonstrated by our military-connected children, youth and teens and what they mean to our community!

Purple is the official color of the military child. It's a combination of all the colors of the U.S. Armed Force: Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard blues, Army green, and Marine Corps red. Programs and activities that are similar across all branches of service are called “purple.”

So wear that purple!
