HERALDRY

     The meaning of our seal: The white flag with a red cross is the flag of St. John the Baptist as the forerunner of Jesus Christ the Messiah. White stands for the purity of intentions of both St. John and Jesus Christ. Likewise we Masons are expected to have pure and noble intentions to join fraternity. The cross stands for the blood of Christ and the way He died to save all mankind. Likewise we Masons are expected to help and SACRIFIES in aid of our distress brothers and do charity to mankind. The lamb standing on the Holy Bible is symbol of the Triumphant Christ over all trials and tribulations. We too as masons if we follow the teachings of our brotherhood will always triumph against all trials and evils. The Holy Bible stands for the truth which is one of the Tenets of our fraternity
