For the brothers who are part of the appendant bodies including the commandery Order or the Red Cross, Order of the Knights of Malta, and Knights Templar. This is the Priory of the knights of Malta. The famous door and “key hole”. When you look through the key hole you see a view through three countries…Italy, Malta, and Vatican City with an amazing view of St Peter’s Basilica.

On this day in history.

On this day in 2007, the Roman Catholic Church announced that a papal edict regarding the Knights Templar had wrongly been kept secret for 700 years.

Based upon the Chinon Parchment that was re-discovered by Vatican researchers in the Secret Archives in 2001 (it had been "misfiled"), the Church announced that in August 1308, the Pope had absolved Jacques DeMolay and the leaders of the Knights Templar of all charges of heresy and other sins, and restored them to full communion in the Church.

The Templars had been falsely charged and arrested on October 13, 1307, on the instigation of Philip the Fair, King of France, who was highly indebted to the Knights Templar.

The absolution and revocation of excommunication notwithstanding, because of politics with the French king, the pope still allowed the dissolution of the Order. Ultimately, in 1314, DeMolay and other top leaders were executed at the Ile de la Cite, outside the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris.

On this day in 1733, the first Masonic Lodge in America was founded in Boston. The members there pledged to be faithful to God, their fellow Masons, and the king. Some famous Masons, such as George Washington, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, did not keep to the latter.

The Masons are a fraternity, a service organization based loosely on medieval craft guilds, hence the name Masons. From these guilds, they have borrowed much of their symbolism, but they also look back to the building of Solomon's temple. Its members are taught the tenets of "Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth."

To learn more about George Washington the Mason:

Washington joined the Masons in 1752 at the age of 20 and was a lifelong member.
