Knight Masonry contains those Degrees which are worked within a Council of Knight Masons under the jurisdiction of the Grand Council of Knight Masons. Grand Council of Knight Masons was formally constituted in 1923 to look after the Degrees which were previously worked by Royal Arch Chapters, Preceptories of High Knight Templars and even a Prince Rose Croix Chapter.

​

There are three Degrees in Knight Masonry formerly known as the Red Cross Degrees:

​

Knight of the Sword

Formerly Red Cross of Daniel or Babylonian Pass, in which we learn of Zerubbabel's visit to the court of King Cyrus of Persia.

​

Knight of the East

Formerly Jordan Pass, which covers Zerubbabel's later visit to the court of King Darius.

​

Knight of the East and West

Formerly Royal Order, when Zerubbabel returns to his fellow countrymen in Jerusalem.
