Description

While temples were destroyed, property confiscated and burned, and Masons imprisoned and murdered, the mysteries of Freemasonry and the core principles of brotherly love, relief, and truth survived unimpaired in our brothers’ hearts. In 1926, at their annual communication, the Grand Lodge of Germany gave its members a forget-me-not pin, to remind the brethren of their charitable obligations. In 1934-5, the Ministry of Defense ruled that soldiers, officers, and civilian personnel could not be members of Masonic organizations, and Hitler declared a victory over “international Jewry” in which he linked antisemitism to conspiracy theories about Freemasonry.

E. Athelstan is said by some to have been converted to Christianity in York, and to have issued the first Charter to the Masonic Lodges there. The pods attach to clothing when brushed against and eventually fall off, leaving the small seed within the pod to germinate elsewhere. As in other Masonic bodies, the York Rite uses drama to demonstrate the lessons and special qualities of the degrees and has several various means of identification, such as grips or tokens (handshakes), signs and words. Within the Masonic fraternity, the forget-me-not has been linked to an allegorical story that connects it to the persecution faced by Freemasons during the Nazi regime in Germany. Masons did wear the flower as a symbol of charity before the war, and a symbol of remembrance after, but its use in the midst of the war is questionable, and there is no evidence of it being worn in concentration camps.A hue evoking universal friendship and benevolence, its roots span ancient cultures, infusing Freemasonry's core values. But masonic legend tells that in the midst of the war, the German Grand Lodge of the Sun adopted that little blue forget me not pin, not as an emblem of charity, but as a substitute for the square and compass. When Brother Vogel was later elected GM of the Grand Lodge AFuAM of Germany and visited a Grand Masters’ conference in Washington, DC, he distributed. The Shrine and Grotto tend to emphasise fun and philanthropy and are largely a North American phenomenon.

In 1936 the Winterhilfswerk (a non- Masonic winter charity drive) held a collection and used and distributed the same symbol, again with its obvious charitable connotation. is the date of the Grand Lodge manuscript(4), and more frequent mention of lodges is made in documents from this time onwards.She holds a Masters degree in Linguistics and Education, and has also studied Political Science, Ancient History and Literature. Montgomery, Richard Major General - Fist General Officer of the Continental Army killed in the Battle for Quebec on Dec 31, 1775. Many believe that forget-me-nots bloomed on the battlefields of Waterloo in 1815, which likely contributed to the meaning of the flower.

In some cultures, forget-me-not seeds are given to friends and family to plant at home, in hopes of keeping the memory of someone alive.The SS featured two separate offices dedicated to pursuing Masonic properties and Freemasons, a process that would continue into the war and into countries under direct or indirect German control. The theme was the rage at the time and alluded to the mystery and ceremony of the "Arabian Nights" with its elaborate parties and frolic. Some use it to remember the legend of those who wore it in secret, refusing to allow the light of masonry to go out, even in the darkest days of the war. The small, blue forget-me-not flower was first used by the Grand Lodge Zur Sonne, in 1926, as a Masonic emblem at the annual convention in Bremen, Germany.
