The Masonic and Military Order of the Red Cross of Constantine is a Christian Masonic Order inspired by the vision experienced by the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great before the Battle of the Milvian Bridge.
Rooted in the principles of faith, loyalty and spiritual knighthood, the Order is open to Master Masons who profess the Trinitarian Christian faith and are Companions of the Holy Royal Arch. Its distinctive ceremonies, rich symbolism and strong fraternal bonds bring together Christian spirituality and Masonic and chivalric traditions.
