Introduction to the Order
The Order commemorates the Miraculous Conversion to the Christian Faith of the Great Emperor Constantine, after the glorious victory in the Battle of Saxa Rubra and the Milvian Bridge in the year AD312.
Why should I join?
For those wishing to extend their researches into the spiritual side of Freemasonry, there is much within this wonderful order to exercise the mind. In particular, it further develops the theme of the Holy Royal Arch degree.
There are two parts to this Christian Order:The Red Cross of Constantine
The first ceremony consists of the candidate’s admission, obligation and installation as a Knight-Companion of the Red Cross of Constantine, in which the historical basis of the Order is detailed.
The Knight of the Holy Sepulchre and of St. John the Evangelist
In the ceremonies of the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre and of St. John the Evangelist, this knowledge is further explained and the ultimate aims of Freemasonry are revealed.
The above two ceremonies, together with the two Installation ceremonies which lead to the principal chairs, are probably the most impressive ceremonies in Freemasonry.
Order Qualification
Qualification for membership of this Order is that one must be a Royal Arch Companion and profess a belief in the Christian Trinity-in-Unity.
