Worldwide, the Autumn Equinox is associated with the harvest, remembrance of times past, and appreciation for those who have gone before us. Rosicrucians mark this time of year with a special memorial ceremony honoring all the past initiates who have dedicated their lives to carry on the Rosicrucian teachings and traditions down through the centuries. Held outdoors in a beautiful and inspiring setting, with non-Rosicrucian friends and family invited, this memorial ceremony acknowledges the many contributions and ongoing dedication of past initiates to our Rosicrucian heritage.
