‘Planting the Masonic orchid’

     

American Orchid Room at New Rochelle.

On Monday night, the Grand Master will lead the ritual consecration of a lodge room at the Masonic Care New Rochelle campus.

Not something you see every day in the twenty-first century, but see it you may—and live on the web too—in an event open to the public.

Grand Lodge is circulating the Zoom access info for the ceremony, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. in the American Orchid Room.

I know I don’t have to tell you about the many layers of symbolism of orchids, the flower of 20,000 species and many colors.

A time capsule will be cracked open as well.
