Past High Priest -1926. The office of High Priest is the head of a Chapter of Royal Arch Masons. As awkward as that title is, considering that Freemasonry is not a religion, this office is called that in a historical context. The symbolism of the Chapter has to do with the reconstruction of the Temple at Jerusalem after the Babylonian captivity. Anyway, maybe I'll type more later. Here is a link to a little discussion on the Holy Royal Arch, it's meaning and place in Masonry that I wrote for a different project.
This Jewel belonged to a Companion A.C. Abuchon of the Virginia Chapter of Royal Arch Masons in Minnesota in 1926.
