The Red Cross of Constantine
To give the Order its full and proper title, The Masonic and Military Order of the Red Cross of Constantine and the Orders of the Holy Sepulchre and of St John the Evangelist, you will hopefully immediately see that the Order is split into two distinct parts.
The initial ceremony consists of the Candidate’s admission, obligation, Installation as a Knight-Companion of the Red Cross of Constantine. It is in this ceremony that the historical basis of the Order is explained.
In additional ceremonies, the Installation as a Knight of the Holy Sepulchre and the Installation as a Knight of St. John the Evangelist, (otherwise known as the Appendant Orders), the Knight-Companion builds on what he has already been taught and the ultimate aims of Freemasonry are revealed.
These three ceremonies, together with the two Installation ceremonies leading to the principal Chairs in the Red Cross of Constantine, are both beautiful and thought provoking, and will certainly leave a lasting impression on the candidate.
