St. John's Shout Out!
St. John The Evangelist
Saint John the baptist and John the Evangelist are known as the Patron Saints of Freemaonry. But why?
By John L. Cooper, PGM
The Feast of Saint John's Day is recognized across many cultures. In this informational post from Isagani Masonic
Lodge No. 96 of the Grand Lodge of the Philippines, the "Festival of St. John should serve as a renewal and
strengthening of fraternal ties and a celebration of Masonry from olden times. It functions as a connection between the
past and the future."
Freemasonry has many unexplained mysteries in its ritual, one of which is the reference to the "Holy Saints John." It
comes in the monitorial lecture of the Entered Apprentice degree. Candidates are told that Masonic lodges are dedicated to
Saint John the Baptist and Saint John the Evangelist. Together, they represent the patron saints of Freemasonry.
