Norman Royal Arch Chapter No1334 is delighted to host a presentation of ‘The Ceremony of the Veils’

Wednesday 8th March 2023, 18:45 start

At The Masonic Hall, Old Elvet Durham DH1 3HN

A Presentation to be given by The Provincial Grand Chapter of Durham and the Companions of Norman Chapter No1334. This ancient ceremony is seldom seen in English Chapters, and it is some years since it was last presented in Durham. Companions from all Chapters in the Province are most welcome to attend for what is sure to be an interesting and informative presentation.

‘The Ceremony of Passing the Veils’ was an integral part of the Royal Arch ceremony and was practised as a preliminary to the Exaltation ceremony. In 1834 the basis of the current ceremonies was established and agreed by Supreme Grand Chapter and the ‘Ceremony of the Veils’ stopped being practised thereafter The ceremony can be demonstrated once annually by a Province, so this is a rare opportunity to witness something that at one time was an integral part of our Masonic Heritage.

If you are interested in our rich history and want to see something that little bit different then why not come along?
