Paul A. Cole
The Symbolism and Meaning Behind the Design
The pin reflects the Christian character of our Order on a shield. It
is under His banner that we are enlisted. The swords symbolize our
duty as Soldiers of the Cross, Christian Soldiers, and as Christian
Masons who defend the Christian religion. The black and white
background denotes the Beauceant and alludes to the prosperity of the
Commandery and to the prosperity of this Valiant and Magnanimous Order.
