Manitoba the "Keystone Province" with Winnipeg at it's heart. The Keystone is emblematic of strength, that being the strongest of the parts. Arches are often composed of 13, the 12 around one, Jesus and his disciples.

Keystone also alludes to the summer solstice, the key of the zodiacal arch. Where anciently was located in the constellation of Leo also typical of strength.

Sometimes a circle is inscribed on a Masonic keystone to denote the sun in the solstice, Xalted to the summit.


The Letters around the sun symbol or gold have almost as many meanings as their are lodges. Here are some various interpretations

He That Was Slain Soared To Kindred Spirits
Safely Keep This Sacred Secret Within Thy Heart
Hidden Things We solemnly Swear to Keep Secret
There Were Seven Steps to King Solomon's House
Knight's Templars Should Sacredly Watch the Holy Sepulcher

All legends of Freemasonry relating to the finding of that which is lost, refer to euresis, or discovery, by finding the sun-god, whose death formed the story of the ceremony of the initiation into the mysteries.the Keystone after leaving the summit of the Royal arch , is slain and his body lost among the wintry signs and ice(32 degrees) Waiting to discover(de-cover), be resurrected be born again ,2 be or not 2 be, or b being 2 and e silent 22:22 or 1111:1111

Holy Royal Arch Tracing Board
The Holy Royal Arch has been practiced since at least 1738 in England and at least 1753 in America.

Some of the earliest Masonic records date the origins of the Royal Arch Degree to Ireland, in the late 17th century.

American Lodge records show that the Royal Arch Degree was conferred at the Fredericksburg Lodge No. 4 on the 22nd of December, 1753.

This is the same Virginian lodge that George Washington was "raised" on the August 4th of the same year.

We know that the Royal Arch was an extremely important degree to the "Antients."

Its validity and importance was part of the struggle between the United Grand Lodge of England and the "Antients." This dispute was resolved in 1818 with a compromise which reads: "Pure Ancient Freemasonry consists of but three degrees, viz. that of Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft, and Master Mason, including the Supreme Order of the Holy Royal Arch."

Apron of the Holy Royal Arch
The Holy Royal Arch Degree is a "York Rite" degree of Freemasonry.

The York Rite degrees are not numbered, like the more widely publicized Scottish Rite Degrees, but sequentially the Holy Royal Arch would be the 7th York Rite Degree.

This Degree marks the half-way point to the culmination of the York Rite, Order of the Temple Degree or Knights Templar Degree.


The name of the Holy Royal Arch Degree has been often debated. Certainly a central part of the symbolism of the Chapter is the "keystone arch" as shown in the drawing to the left. But this may be just part of the story.

In his excellent Restorations of Masonic Geometry and Symbolitry (sic) Bromwell makes excellent arguments on this topic.

These arguments run both etymologically and in terms of symbolism, and indicate that it wasn't the "arch" in the old woodcut to the left, but probably the "ark" which is the central focus of this degree.

The true origins of this degree are lost to history. But one of these symbols seems to fit the description of "Holy, Royal and ARK" more than the other.


The Blue, Craft or Symbolic Lodge uses the color blue for its accoutrements. This usage seems to date back at least to the establishment of the United Grand Lodge of England. (UGLE)

The Holy Royal Arch has traditionally used the color red.

In the picture Brother George wears the red apron of a Royal Arch Mason. He also wears the triangular jewel which is specific to this degree.

Due to a strict lack or records, we can not be certain that Brother George was in fact a Royal Arch Mason. But the Alexandria Lodge, of which he was a member, seems to have been the first American lodge to confer the Royal Arch Degree.

In addition, Brother Washington did have among his personal possessions several Royal Arch artifacts.



The motto of the Holy Royal Arch is "Holiness To The Lord."

This is a phrase found often in the old testament. First on the graven plate on Aaron's forehead in Exodus, then in Zechariah, and then often throughout the old testament.

In the picture to the left, the phrase "Kodes La Adonia" adorns the coat of arms of the "Antients."

This translates from the Hebrew as "Holiness to God."

Notice the "Four Living Creatures" in the center of this old painting.


The "Four Living Creatures" play a prominent role in the ritual of the Royal Arch. These are said to represent the Four Principal tribes of Israel: Dan, Reuben, Ephraim and Judah.

These same living creatures have been present throughout the bible, old and new testaments alike. These are the creatures of Ezekiel's vision, and the same creatures are mentioned in Revelations.

These same "Four Living Creatures" most likely belong to an older esoteric tradition. A similar grouping of "creatures" is carved into the Egyptian Temples at Karnack and Memphis.

They can also be found as four constellations in our night sky.

The image above is from "The Book Of Kells," and Irish illuminated manuscript of the New Testament completed circa 800 AD. In this case the creatures are assigned to the four evangelists.

There are strictly no references to the New Testament in the Royal Arch Chapter, as the historical context is the re-construction of the Temple in roughly 515 B.C.

At the top where you see the cross with the snakes you can see how it looks like an anchor, which is why it is a Masonic symbol. It is also representing the kundalini.You can see a Keystone is a pyramid missing it's capstone upside down. Lux or light is the key, there is the 2B or not to 2B, the 11:11, the seven steps or chakra's, arch or ark, this is Union with source, triangles represent unity or 3 or 111 or three as one the triparte

ARK=1 18 11 1+18=19=10 10 11 =111
ARCH= 1+18+3+8=30=3 or 111
UNION=21+14+9+15+14=73 73=10=1

Union Station

The railway played a major role in the development of Winnipeg and this terminal was the first glimpse of the city many immigrants saw. The majestic, large rotunda has greeted travellers through the years and remains as impressive today as it was in 1911( adds to 3 or 111) when the station was built. The grand, beaux-arts style railway station was designed by the same architects behind New York City’s Grand Central Station. It is built with Manitoba limestone and embellished with a copper dome roof and decorative ironwork canopies.

there are the 11:11 pillars

VIA looks like mirrored or reversed V's with a / mark lets go with that and you get 22/22 or 1111/1111

Well if you think they are mirrored A's let's go with that 1/1

Wait have to have something RED here it is BIG RED
