‘Williamsburg Lodge plans St. John’s Day procession and church service’

    

Happy 250th anniversary to Williamsburg Lodge 6 in Virginia, which reached that amazing milestone last Monday, the sixth of November. Looking ahead to next month, the brethren have a great tradition to uphold: a proper Masonic procession to and from church for St. John the Evangelist Day (albeit a little early). From the publicity:

Please join us for St. John’s Day, December 16, at Williamsburg Lodge.

March through the streets of historic Colonial Williamsburg, led by fife and drums and Masons in Colonial-period attire. The procession will go to the historic Bruton Parish Church for an almost two-centuries-old St. John’s Day proclamation. The lodge will open at 2 p.m., followed by the procession at 3:45. The church service usually lasts thirty minutes, then the procession, with fife and drums, back to the lodge for refreshments.

One of the best ways to highlight Freemasonry to large crowds of the public.
