The Order of Knight Masons

Knight Masonry is a chivalric fraternal Masonic Order which confers three Degrees of symbolic and moral value. These Masonic Degrees continue the story of the Temple in Jerusalem and in an Irish context completes the Masonic Legend of the Temple.

The Degrees in Knight Masonry are: The Knight of the Sword; Knight of the East and Knight of the East and West.

While the subject matter of these degrees can be found within various Masonic Orders around the world under the Grand Council of Knight Masons are they communicated in the most detail and in their complete form.

The content of the Degrees seems to be as old as Freemasonry itself and for centuries
it has been regarded as a vital part of the Masonic Journey of Light discovery in other Masonic bodies. Any Master Mason, who is also a Mark Master Mason and Royal Arch Mason in

good standing may be invited for participation.

Ezra 1:8

In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia...the Lord moved the heart of Cyrus king of Persia to make a proclamation throughout his realm and also to put it in writing:

2 “This is what Cyrus king of Persia says:

“‘The Lord, the God of heaven... has appointed me to build a temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah. 3 Any of his people among you may go up to Jerusalem in Judah and build the temple of the Lord, the God of Israel, the God who is in Jerusalem, and may their God be with them. ...5 Then the family heads of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and Levites—everyone whose heart God had moved—prepared to go up and build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem....7 Moreover, King Cyrus brought out the articles belonging to the temple of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and had placed in the temple of his god. 8 Cyrus king of Persia had them brought by Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.... Sheshbazzar brought all these along with the exiles when they came up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
