San Francisco Valley’s observance of the annual Remembrance and Renewal Ceremony celebrated at the vernal equinox.

This year the valley will observe the ceremony on the calendar day of Maundy Thursday, as in earlier Scottish Rite tradition.

Remembrance and Renewal comprises four parts:

• Reading of the Names of our departed Scottish Rite brethren,
• Mystic Banquet – which reminds us of the Passover and Paschal meals,
• Tenebrae or the extinguishing of the lights, and
• Fiat Lux or the relighting the lights.

Join us for a virtual presentation of these beautifully significant ceremonies, which are open to the public.
