Johannis Lodge
Johannisloge is the name for Freemason lodges that convey their teaching content in three degrees (apprentice, journeyman, master) in the sense of the old duties of 1723 . All Freemasons, regardless of their degree or duties, see themselves as brothers with equal rights and make decisions in their lodge democratically. Especially in continental European lodges the lecture (so-called drawing) on Masonic or other topics belongs to the temple work , but the ritual work can take place in different forms. Basically there are also lodges that only work on high degrees, i.e. degrees for the third degree of the master. These high grades are always to be understood as an addition, because membership in a St. John's Lodge is always mandatory.
The symbolic basic color has been blue since 1745. The patron saint of these lodges is John the Baptist and their feast is St. John's Day, which is also the highest feast day of the St. John's lodges . In Scotland the old lodges referred to St. John the Evangelist and used his name to designate the way they worked. There is therefore the generic term “St. John's Lodge ”in contrast to the single“ Lodge St. John ”(St. John's Lodge and St. John's Lodge).
