What is knight Templar priest ?

The Order of Knight Templar Priest, or Holy Wisdom, was historically conferred as the seventh and final degree in a system following the Symbolic degrees, Past Master, Royal Arch, and Knight Templar 1. The degree was worked within a body called a Tabernacle, which was governed by seven officers known as Pillars 1.

The origins of the Priestly Order are subject to historical dispute. William James Hughan questioned both its claimed origin in York and its assertion of having been revived in 1786 1. Despite these doubts regarding its early chronology, the Kent Tabernacle in Newcastle, England, maintained a position of time immemorial standing within the fraternity and preserved the control and practice of the Knight Templar Priest degree alongside several other ancient ceremonies 1.
