I believe that Templar Masonry is strongest when the Sir Knights of our Order are dedicated to building and growing their families in the
love of Christ and service to their communities.

Happy Easter to all as we celebrate this joyous and blessed day with our Sir Knights, Ladies and Families at the George Washington Masonic National Memorial with the Grand Encampment Knights Templar USA for the 96the Annual Easter Sunrise Service.

HE IS RISEN!

He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’”

Today Christians around the world celebrate the resurrection of Christ and the promise of eternal life ever after. It is also a reminder the last supper was in fact a Passover Seder. The combination of these two events remind us of the bonds between Christianity and Judaism.

As we celebrate this Easter Observance this is a reminder that we as Masons and Sir Knights are all traveling a parallel path, regardless of our individual beliefs, we search for the same thing, the immortality of the soul and life eternal.

Regardless of your religion, it is our sincere hope and prayer that you and yours will one day travel along the path of Revelation as well and that as you travel through life, regardless of the religion you may practice, in your heart that you remember that when we "love on another" we are taking that one step closer to the divine and to life eternal and immortal.

Happy Easter to you and your family and we hope that you will enjoy this time with your family and always remember the True meaning of Easter!

The Tomb is Empty, He is Risen Indeed!

Sir Knights and Ladies as we approach our Easter Observance let's celebrate Good Friday and as it stands in the hearts of our Christian faith. It is the day when Jesus Christ, the Son of God, suffered and died on the cross for the salvation of humanity. While the name “Good Friday” may seem paradoxical—given that it commemorates Christ’s suffering and death—it is “good” because His sacrifice opened the gates of heaven and restored our relationship with God.

Enjoy this day and remember that Jesus's died for all of our sins and we will Celebrate as he is Risen Again!

Sir Knights and Family,

We are looking forward to seeing all of you who will be traveling this weekend and we want to extend our traveling mercies for your trip to and from the Grand Encampment Knights Templar USA's 96th Annual Easter Sunrise Service which will be held on the steps of the George Washington Masonic National Memorial in Alexandria, Virginia this Sunday, April 5, 2026.

As we all Christian Knights know, Easter isn't just one holiday on our yearly calendars, it's the heart of the Christian faith. We believe that Jesus died on a cross and rose from the dead three days later. It's the pivotal moment when God's promise is revealed. He sent Jesus, his son, to the world. He was born as a human, lived a life of love, and endured unimaginable pain. When He died on the cross, He did it for you, for me, and for all of humanity. That's why we celebrate Easter-because we rejoice in Jesus' resurrection knowing we are loved and saved.

Amen
