MASONIC CALENDAR

Ancient Craft Masonry commence their era with the creation of the world, calling it Anno Lucia (A.L.) “In the year of light”.

Scottish Rite, the same as Ancient Craft, except the Jewish chronology is used. Anno Mundi (A.M.) “In the year of the world”.

Royal Arch Masons date from the year the Second Temple was completed by Zerubbabel. Anno Inventionis (A.I.) “In the year of discovery”.

Royal and Select Masters date from the year in which the Temple of Solomon was completed. Anno Depositionis (A.Dep.) “In the year of the deposit”.

Knights Templar commence their era with the organization of their Order. Anno Ordinis (A.O.) “In the year of the Order”.

Order of High Priesthood dates from the year of the blessing of Abraham by the High Priest Melchizadek. Anno Beneficio (A. Beo.) “In the year of the blessing”.

Ancient Craft Masonry: Add 4,000 to the common era, thus 2010+4000= 6010

Scottish Rite: Add 3,760 to the common era, thus 2010+3760=5770

Royal Arch: Add 530 to the present era, thus 2010+530=2540

Royal and Select Master: Add 1,000 to the present era, thus 2010+1000=3010

Knights Templar: Subtract 1,118 from the Christian era, thus 2010- 1118=892
