Saint John's Commandery, No. 1
Since I'm posting images relating to Freemasonry, I decided to include an item from my personal collection. This is a From the Saint John's Commandery No. 1 of Providence Rhode Island.
According to the Grand Encampment of Knights Templar
of the United States of America:
"The Order of Knights Templar today exists as the top ranking Masonic organization in the York Rite of Freemasonry. The Order today requires membership in a Chapter of Royal Arch Masons and in some jurisdictions, membership in a Council of Royal and Select Masters.
The Knights Templar is a Christian-oriented fraternal organization based on the ancient organization that was founded in the 11th century. Today, the Knights Templar display their courage and goodwill in different ways than the ancient Templars. Members of the Order today organize fund-raising activities such as breakfasts, dinners, dances and flea markets for the support of Masonic-related youth groups, in addition to raising millions of dollars for charitable purposes."
According to "History of the State of Rhode Island with Illustrations" by Albert J. Wright (1878):
"(Saint John's Commandery, No. 1.) was organized under the name of St. John's Encampment on the twenty-third day of August, 1802, by Thomas Smith Webb, Jeremiah F. Jenkins, Samuel Snow, Daniel Stillwell, John S. Warner, and Nicholas Hoppin. It has existed, without intermission, from that day, and is the oldest body of Templars in this country"
