Rosicrucian Order AMORC – Memorial Ceremony Grenada,1999 (formerly Pyramid Ceremony)
In 1979, the Rosicrucian Group was in the process of constructing their temple on the Caribbean island of Grenada, in a place called ‘True Blue’; when a Militant Group took over the island and in the upheaval that ensued, their temple building was vandalized and burnt. The social climate, at that time, forced the group to go underground for the safety of their members. Some may say that it is ironic and others may use the word “timely”, that the first televised public event of the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, the annual “Memorial Ceremony” (formerly the Pyramid Ceremony), took place in their “Botanical Gardens”, on September 27th, 1999. It is said that, this Caribbean island, Grenada was the birth place for the Rosicrucian Tradition in the southern part of the Caribbean Region. The ceremony was followed by a call in program with the former Grand Councilor, Christopher Codrington and the Master,Joseph Francis, on their community television station, MTV-Grenada. (Yes! MTV) This video clip is an abbreviated version of the ceremony and it is a tribute to the pioneers, lead by the late H.M. Squires who traveled to Trinidad, with four other members, to sow the seeds of the Rosicrucian Tradition in that island. Finally, Brother Ferdinand Gooding, for his unconditional commitment to the work of The Order, must be commended for ensuring that the property taxes (True Blue) were kept up-to-date at his personal expense. The Rosicrucian temple never became a reality in Grenada.
