Marked Men
20 May 24
Recently, at The Elysian Lodge 418 an Emergent Meeting was convened to confer the status of Mark Man on six candidates. This is a significant ceremony in Freemasonry and it attracted visitors from neighbouring districts and a fraternal delegation from Lodge Sir Walter Scott 123, all keen to witness this exemplary conferral.
The Mark Man Ceremony is practised both in Craft Freemasonry and Mark and Royal Arch Masonry, although it is administered by separate bodies that have a shared member base.
The ceremony was led by VW Bro Jay Tayag AGDC, as Worshipful Master. The event was further dignified by the presence of the Deputy Grand Master, RW Bro Khris Albano and the Assistant Grand Master, RW Bro Paul Schultz who added to the importance of the evening.
This memorable evening was a proud milestone in the masonic career of the new Mark Men: Bros Peter Jones, Wael Merhi, QasHanna, Paul Viesca, Owen Guarin, and Junn Miranda.
This Emergent Meeting at The Elysian Lodge was a demonstration of Masonic tradition and brotherhood. The conferral of the Mark Man Degree on these six deserving candidates was a moment of celebration, marking their continued growth and commitment to Freemasonry.
