Masonic Templarism

Masonic Templarism refers to the influence of the historical Knights Templar within modern Freemasonry, particularly in the York Rite. The Knights Templar were a medieval Christian military order known for their protection of pilgrims and participation in the Crusades. In Freemasonry, Templarism symbolizes ideals such as chivalry, integrity, and service. Members often engage in rituals that pay homage to these principles, while fostering brotherhood and moral development. While the two entities share a rich history and values, it's important to note that modern Freemasonry is not directly connected to the Knights Templar.
