18°
Knights of the Rose Croix
    The Degree of the Rose Croix teaches three things , the love and tenderness of a beneficient God, the immortality of the soul, and the extinction of evil, wrong and sorrow. Instead of the old pillars of wisdom, strength and beauty, we now have those of faith, hope, and charity.
