The Holy Saints John

“The Holy Saints John,” by Right Worshipful Lonnie Lee Godfrey, explores the symbolic significance of Saints John the Baptist and John the Evangelist in Freemasonry. Examining their representation as a balance between zeal and learned equilibrium, the article delves into the historical and alchemical aspects of the Saints. The festivals of St. John in summer and winter, aligned with the solstices, symbolize a connection between past and future in Masonic celebrations. Godfrey discusses the unique symbolism of fire and water in relation to the Saints and emphasizes their role in balancing darkness and light, passion, and constraint within Freemasonry.
