Gettysburg Knights TEmplar commandery #79
Become a Knight Templar
The Order of the Temple is the climax of the York Rite. It is founded upon the principles enunciated in the New Testament, teaching that Love is the great characteristic of those who would aspire to immortality. Templar Masons have inherited an organization which has for it's symbol the triumph of the Cross. Therefore, these Orders, as a component part of the York Rite, are essentially Christian in their character and scope.
