What is a Shriner?
What is a Shriner? Outside of it’s many parade units, the general public seems to have little knowledge of the Ancient Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine or Shriners as they are often called.
What kind of organization attracts truck drivers, dentists, contractors, heads of state, movie stars, fighter pilots, clergymen, and accountants?
The Fez and Emblem
The red fez with a black tassel, the Shrine’s official headgear, has been handed down through the ages. It derives its name from the place where it was first manufactured – the holy city of Fez, Morocco.
Some historians claim it dates back to about A.D. 980, but the name of the fez, or tarboosh, does not appear in literature until around the 14th century.
The Shriners Creed
Shriners believe in a supreme being or deity, your own version. We believe that care for the less fortunate, especially children who suffer from burns and crippling diseases, is our institutional calling. We are patriots, each willing to serve his country with fidelity and courage. We cherish independence under law and freedom with responsibility.
