The Grand Orient celebrates the Summer Solstice
Let's celebrate, according to an ancient and consolidated tradition the summer solstice, one of the anniversaries that have particular relevance for Freemasonry due to the high esoteric value that accompanies the meaning and effects of the alternation of darkness and light both in cosmic perfection and in our incessant initiatory work.
On this particular day which marks the triumph of light, its moment of greatest splendor, of maximum intensity in the eternal cycle of revolution that the Earth carries out around the sun, we Masons can admire the greatest and most beautiful expression of harmony and perfection that accompanies the work of the sun which produces copious fruits for the necessary regeneration of nature and at the same time of man who is an integral part and draws life and strength from it.
Us too, after having worked intensely and incessantly on sowing with the ritual work done in the winter months, we prepare to collect the light, energy and heat, the love and knowledge necessary for the continuation of our interminable work in this June which favors the fruitful maturation of the wheat.
Strengthened by our commitment and our tenacious workshop work, we are therefore preparing to enjoy the fruits in the sunlight, before the summer break which will see us busy recovering our energy in view of the resumption of our architectural works after September XX.
Dearest brothers, let's continue to look at the sun and let us too become little shining suns for our Obedience and for Humanity.
Happy solstice!
