The Order of the Amaranth is a fraternal organization
composed of Master Masons and their properly qualified female
relatives. In its teachings, the members are emphatically
reminded of their duties to God, to their country and to their
fellow beings. They are urged to portray, by precept and
example, their belief in the "Golden Rule" and by conforming
to the virtues inherent in TRUTH, FAITH, WISDOM and CHARITY
they can prove to others the goodness promulgated by the
Order.
The extent of its Charitable Work and overall Benevolence is
limited only by the opportunities that exist, and the ability
to secure adequate funding. Its Philanthropic project is the
Amaranth Diabetes Foundation. The flag of the appropriate
country is prominently displayed at all meetings creating a
strong sentiment of patriotism and devotion to the respective
land that we love.
Conspicuously upon the Altar is placed the Holy Bible, the
inspired word of God. Its divine truths send forth its sacred
luster to all parts of the globe and is used among us as a
symbol of the will of God. It reminds us of the omnipresence
of the "Almighty" overshadowing us with His Divine Love and
dispensing His blessings among us.
The leaves of the Amaranth plant (Like the "Laurel") is
indicative of distinction and honor, and when formed into the
"Amaranthine Wreath" with its never ending circle, is typical
of the bond of fraternal friendship which encircles our
beloved order, and which has a central place upon our Standard
(Ceremonial Flag), surrounding the "Crown and Sword". |
