About this time last year I wrote about the Chrism Mass at the Cathedral of the Madeleine. (This year it will be Thursday, April 10th at 7pm.) While reflecting on the incredible procession for the Chrism Mass, I noticed a group of people that I definitely got my attention. I remembered the ladies in long black capes with black veils on their heads and the men wore white capes with black velvet berets. They were the Utah Knights and Ladies of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem. My curiosity peaked as I wondering what the order was all about. So being a researcher, I found a few sites rather captivating. Instead of rewriting or quoting the best, I am going to share those links with you and encourage you to visit them. The first one is easy to understand and a wonderful explanation of the order by the Editor of the Intermountain Catholic, Marie Mischel. http://www.icatholic.org/article/utah-hosts-equestrian-order-meeting-5916067. The next one is the Official Website for the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem. http://www.holysepulchre.net/.
