Sir
Knights of the Fourth Degree, deem it an honor and
privilege to carry our TRIAD EMBLEM, which
features The Dove, The Cross, and The Globe. Our Honored
Order cherishes as its Patron, Christopher Columbus.
|
Spiritually,
the sacred symbols fashioned on our sword and lapel pin, typify
the union of the Three Divine Persons in one Godhead The Most
Holy Trinity.
- The
Globe God the Father, Creator of the Universe.
- The
Cross God the Son, Redeemer of Mankind.
- The
Dove God the Holy Spirit, Sanctifier of Humanity.
The colors of the symbols are:
·
A blue globe with the
land of the Western Hemisphere
in white.
·
A red cross with gold
borders and gold knobs at the end of the points forming the ends
of the arms of the cross, also known as the Isabella cross.
·
A white dove.
Red, white and blue are the colors of the
flag of the country in which the Knights originated. They are
used to stress patriotism, the basic principle of the Fourth
Degree.

Starting
at the Supreme level there is the Supreme Master and the Supreme
Board of Directors. The next level of the structure is broken
into provinces of which there are twenty. Each province is lead
by a Vice-Supreme Master. The Vice-Supreme Master wears a light
blue lined cape and chapeau. There are currently 15 provinces in
the United States,
4 in Canada,
1 in Mexico and 1 in the Philippines. The
province is then broken up into districts. We are in the
Junipero Serra Province.
Most districts are either an entire State or a
section of a larger State (i.e. California has three districts -
North, Central and South).
