The sixty-fifth annual Solemn Feast of the Paschal Lamb will be held in The Cleveland Masonic Center on Palm Sunday, April 13 beginning at 3:00 p.m. Guest speaker for the special Rose Croix ceremonial will be Reverend Russell Martin, Senior Pastor of the Brecksville United Methodist Church (See biography below).

The Feast of the Paschal Lamb is observed annually by Ariel Chapter of Rose Croix, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite in The Valley of Cleveland. Presiding over the ceremonial will be Alan W. Jones, Most Wise Master of Ariel Chapter, Rose Croix. The significance of the Feast is a reminder to Christians of Holy Week, and to those of the Jewish faith, of Passover. The ceremonial acknowledges the continued on page 3continued from page 1celebration of both faiths.

Appropriate music for The Feast of the Paschal Lamb will be provided by The Scottish Rite Chorus, under the direction of Chester F. Willey, Jr.

The Feast of the Paschal Lamb is an annual event in the Valley of Cleveland. Members and their guests are invited to attend the moving Rose Croix Ceremonial. No admission is required nor will an offering be taken.
