Great pieces. Would you be interested in having them published, in an on-line format, for a wider masonic audience?
They would go up at http://www.freemasoninformation.com
I am intrigued that Joseph Smith, the Prophet and founder of Mormonism, claimed to have been visited by both Saints John. Do you know when their birthdays or anniversaries were celebrated in 1829 and 1830? I am curious if Smith claimed to have encountered them around the time that Freemasons were also celebrating them.

Saint John the Baptist’s Feast Day has been June 24th since at least the 15th century. The date of December 27th is the Roman Catholic feast date, and I don’t know when it dates from.
On the topic of Mormonism and Masonry, though, check out Is There No Help for the Widow’s Son?.
The site”s link to your article has one too many “esoterica/” folders.
This is the correct link; the link pointer should be updated by someone. Any guesses?

I’ve notified the responsible parties. :-D
