June 24 was St. John the Baptist’s Day. Unusual for a saint’s day, June 24 was the date Christian tradition allotted to John’s birth, not his death.

Seventeenth-century Free Masons called the sun the “jewel” of the Lodge. The Jewel was said to rest first on the Lodge’s Master, who, like the Sun and the Square, was called a “Light” of the Lodge, enthroned in the East where the sun rose.

The voice crying in the wilderness announces the Way, the straight way, the way of return to the true Temple of God. On this principle John stood, and endured to the end.
