The Freemason does not seek glory, he seeks truth. He does not walk this path for recognition, nor for wealth. He walks it because it must be walked. He builds, not for himself, but for the generations that come after him.
If there is darkness, he will bring light. If there is ignorance, he will spread wisdom. If there is hardship, he will endure. He will take the lessons of those before him and carve a legacy upon the stone of time itself.
And when tested, when the weight of doubt, fear, and pain press upon him, he will take his steps. One by one. Twelve if necessary. Fifty if required. As many as it takes.
Because a Mason does not yield. He does not falter. He does not fall.
He rises.
And in rising, he builds something greater than himself. An unbroken chain, forged by the hands of every brother who ever stood where he stands now.
A Mason is not simply a man. He is a pillar. And when the storm comes, he does not break, he holds the world upon his shoulders.
The history of Scottish Freemasonry in South Africa dates back to 1860, with the first Scottish Constitution lodge established in Cape Town. The growth of Freemasonry in the region led to the formation of the District Grand Lodge of the Eastern Province of the Cape of Good Hope in 1920, to meet the expanding needs of the fraternity. The District has seen a succession of dedicated District Grand Masters, with Bro Craig Jessop currently serving in this esteemed role since 8th March 2023.
“Yesterday it was stone, today it’s stories — our work continues.”
Let the banners be raised and the swords held high! We rejoice in the admission of five worthy Aspirants who have now taken their place among the valiant Knights of the Temple. May their faith be steadfast, their courage unwavering, and their fellowship ever true. We likewise salute the newly elected Officers, whose hands shall guide Kincardine onward in honour and devotion. https://www.tartanandtrowel.com/knights-templar/ #KnightsTemplar
