That’s a tough question and one I hope I’m never faced with. Under any torture similar to what Jacques de Molay must have endured I’m sure I would have confessed to anything.
Thanks, de Molay, that’s good information and gives me another starting point. As my brother is possession of the items, I’ll see about getting some photos next time I’m in town. I can’t help but wonder why I never knew about this until now.
St Bernard had to be one of the most charismatic men of his day! All that traveling must have been terribly difficult in those days. Being from a good family and educated, he could have easily accepted a more comfortable station in life. It seems amazing by today’s standards that religion had so much meaning and influence back then.
Well, When my father passed away a few years ago we stored some of his things in my brother’s loft. We ran across it recently and found some of his Masonic things. I didn’t know anything about dad being a Mason or anything like that and my brother only knew a little. He said dad had been in some other organization, not exactly Masonic but he wasn’t sure what. That’s what sparked my interest and started my research.
I checked both sites looking for some historical reading about the Knights Templar. The first one is a bit radical for my interests but the second one has very some good historical articles. I’m headed back to finish reading them now.
