The Ceremonial Unit was created
in
1926 by Potentate Win. S. McCartney and was known as the “Wrecking
Crew”.
In 1941, Potentate Walter P. Quist combined the Wrecking Crew and the
Zuhrah
Ritualistic staff into one unit. On October 16, 1947 a Temple
resolution
was passed to name the unit the Zuhrah Temple Ceremonial Unit and today
its membership consists of Ritual and Director’s Staff.
The purpose of the Zuhrah
Ceremonial
Unit is to provide Zuhrah Temple with a Spring and Fall Ceremonial each
year. The Ritual and Director’s Staff team up to provide the Zuhrah
membership
and new candidates with Ceremonials that are second to none. The
Ceremonial
Unit also assists with other Zuhrah Shrine activities such as the
Shrine
Circus, New Year’s Day Breakfast, our Ceremonial parade float and more.
