Knight Masons
Kilkenny Council #33
Jurisdiction of Nevada
THE
DEGREES
There are three degrees -
- Knight of
the Sword,
- Knight of
the East, and
- Knight of
the East and West.
These
"Green" degrees are ancient and are in essence "Old
Testament." The 15th, 16th, and 17th degrees of the Scottish
Rite, and the Order of the Red Cross of the Commandery are to
some extent similar and all are based on the legend of Zerubbabel.
They are not to be confused with degrees which may have similar
names in other Orders.
