Season’s Greetings
Dear Knights, Dames, Squires, Damsels and friendly Orders,

On behalf of the Government of our State and of the structures of our Sovereign Order, I have the honor and the pleasure of presenting to all our most sincere Greetings for the coming Season. In fact, in the disturbed and uncertain World of our days, during this period several religions celebrate important festivities and all of them are festivities of Peace and of Love such as:

– Dongzhi Festival in China that celebrates the arrival of the Winter, renders cult to the ancestors and is a festivity of the family;

– The Buddhist celebrate the Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava and also the Amitabha, the celestial Buddha “The Buddha of Immeasurable Life and Light” ;

– The Hindus Celebrate the Gita Jayanti a day that symbolizes the birth of Srimad Bhagavad-Gita the sacred text of the Hindu religion;

– The Juish religion celebrates the Chanukah of the year 6777, which is the celebration of the light over the darkness, the rededication of the Holy Temple, celebrated during 8 days with 8 candles;

– The Muslim celebrate the Eid al-Mawlid an-Nabawī, the Festival of the birth of the Prophet Muhammad;

– The Christian celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ

and the World in general also celebrates the arrival of the New Year of 2017, so, for the above said, we come to wish to all

Happy Diwali = Dipavali and a new year of 2073 very prosperous and full of Light
