A Commandery of Knights Templar - summit and crowning body of the York Rite - confers
three Orders (degrees). The first is widely acclaimed for its colorful presentation
of dramatic incidents which occurred during the late years of the Ancient Craft.
Then the two Orders which follow - concluding with the incomparable Order of the Temple -
enter the Age of Chivalry and Christian Knighthood and therefore are knows as
Chivalric Masonry.

A Council of Royal and Select Masters confers the two Cryptic Degrees of Masonry, so called because they are chiefly concerned with a crypt, an important subterranean vault known only to a select few of the Craft. The wise Chief Architect of Solomon's Temple knew that the protection and preservation of Masonry's principle secret - known only to three - was vital to the future welfare and progress of the Craft. how he guarded against its possible loss is the central theme of these magnificent degrees, both of which are essential to a full appreciation of the Hiramic Legend - the crowning glory of Freemasonry!
