The degree reenacts the trial of the namesake of the society, Jacques DeMolay, who was burned at the stake in 1314. It is a moving testament to fidelity and a cautionary tale promoting tolerance. It is a degree I have seen before, and one that still teaches whenever I see it presented.
Congratulations to Minnesota DeMolay and their adult leaders! All Masons should support this terrific organization for young men!
