On Sunday, the Sunrise Service, breakfast and depart for Kentucky, to arrive at about 10pm on Easter Sunday.

The purpose of the pilgrimage is the march, by uniformed, armed knights,
up the hill to the Memorial on Sunday morning. It would be nice to have a
full complement of Sir Knights marching, with their ladies observing from
the stands at the top of the hill. If you plan to make the trip with us, plan
to bring your uniform, sword and chapeau to take part in this memorable, beautiful event, one of the last great Masonic Pageants.
