📜 This Day in Masonic History
April 29, 1768 🔨

Sometimes the biggest changes don’t come with noise…
they come with a single word.

On this day in 1768, a quiet but important shift took place in Freemasonry:

The term “Chapter” began replacing “Lodge” in England when referring to the Royal Arch.

It may seem small on the surface—
but this marked a real evolution in how the Royal Arch Degree was organized and understood.

And like many things in Masonry…
what began in England didn’t stay there.

That change quickly made its way across the ocean to America 🇺🇸
helping shape the structure of Royal Arch Masonry as we know it today.

This wasn’t about division—
it was about refinement.

About recognizing that as a man progresses in the Craft,
his journey deepens…
and so does the way we organize and deliver that experience.

The Royal Arch has long been seen as a continuation—
a further step in the search for light 🔺

A reminder to us all, Brethren:

Freemasonry is not static.
It grows. It adapts. It builds.

Just like we’re meant to.

So the question is—

Are you still evolving in your journey…
or standing still where you started?

The Omaha/Papillion/Plattsmouth/Blair/Fremont/Lincoln Areas York Rite held a York Rite Festival to confer the Royal and Select Master degrees and the Commandery Orders on Saturday, March 28th.
I think this is fantastic, and we highly encourage any Master Mason to join. 🤝🤝🤝

Jose Raul Perez-Estrada, PhD, from the Miami University Department of Biology, was awarded a $90,000 grant for The Metabolic Paradigm in Eye Development and Regeneration.

Regeneration of lost parts of the body has fascinated humanity since remote times, inspiring myths and legends, but also a scientific curiosity to know why some animals regenerate more than humans. In Greek mythology, an example of regeneration is the Lernean Hydra, a giant water snake-like monster with nine heads, that regenerated each head when cut off. In recent times, the best example of a fictional regeneration figure is Wolverine, a superhero in X-Men comics. Wolverine’s superpower is not to control minds or the ability to shoot rays; his superpower is too simple: to be able to heal and regenerate fast. Thus, regeneration makes Hydra and Wolverine almost immortal beings that do not develop diseases. Newts are animals that, like Hydra, can form a new structure of the eye after being cut off and heal their eye after an injury, just like Wolverine does.
