Further, the Immediate Past High Priest, Ill Kt P Andreas Riehl PG IIP, commissioned and donated a beautifully made symbols pillar which he used to explain part of the ceremony to the Tabernacle’s newest Knight Priest, Oliver Klimet. In addition, the High Priest gold pillar has also be upgraded with a brand new one adding to the feeling of a re-vitalised Tabernacle. Under way are the printing and manufacture to the missals which Grand College are currently facilitating which it is hoped will be available for the October meeting where both the KTP and OHW ceremonies will be conducted during different parts of the. Likewise, it is hoped a new anointing horn for the altar will be forthcoming during this coming season and all remaining pillars refurbished.
With a new gold standard of ritual having been set by lll. Kt. P Andreas PG IIP and a new look, the Tabernacle is set to enjoy a renaissance in its good fortune.
