The Brethren of the 6th Masonic District jointly celebrated the feast of St. John the Evangelist (December 27) by attending Emmanuel United Methodist Church in Batavia, Ohio.
St. John the Evangelist is one of two traditional patrons of stonemasons. St. John the Baptist is the other, whose feast day is on June 24. Freemasons have historically observed the feasts of St. John the Evangelist and St. John the Baptist in homage of their operative forefathers.
