What is Past Masters Night and do only Past Masters get to deliver ritual on a Past Masters Night?
Past Masters Night is an annual event in Freemasonry where lodges gather to honor and celebrate the contributions of their Past Masters. This event typically includes a variety of activities such as a silent auction, dinner, and presentations that highlight the leadership and dedication of the Past Masters who have guided the lodge through the years.
While Past Masters are often involved in the planning and execution of the event, it is not exclusively limited to them. The junior Past Master is typically responsible for organizing the ceremony, arranging the dinner, managing the printing and mailing of invitations, and presenting speeches. However, other members of the lodge may also participate in delivering ritual or performing other ceremonial duties as part of the event.
In summary, while Past Masters play a significant role in organizing and participating in Past Masters Night, it is not solely their domain. Other members of the lodge contribute to the event's success through various activities and ceremonies.
