Feast of the Paschal Lamb
2026-03-29 16:00 - 19:00 | MA
Save the date as Mount Olivet Chapter of Rose Croix will present, in public, a symbolic celebration of the Feast of the Paschal Lamb on Palm Sunday, March 29, 2026 at the Grand Lodge Building, 186 Tremont Street, Boston, Massachusetts. The observance will be held in Gothic Hall, Seventh Floor at 4:00 p.m.

The Feast of the Paschal Lamb is a memorial service, honoring our Brethren who have passed to their eternal reward during the past three years. In spirit, we seem to sense their presence at the Mystic Banquet as we seek to strengthen the ties of brotherly love, which bind our hearts in holy remembrance.

This celebration will be open to all members of the Fraternity, their families and friends. Knights Rose Croix are respectfully reminded that this is a ceremony of obligation. It is particularly hoped that not only will many members of Mount Olivet Chapter be present, but that they will extend a cordial invitation to others, whether Masons or not, especially the families of the past members, to witness this solemn ceremony. More details and registration to come.
