some of East Cleveland


Windermere Lodge #627
East Cleveland Masonic Temple on Belmore. 1927-83, now The Living Truth Center Church. 
After Howard Carter found the tomb of Tutankhamun in November 1922, there was an Egyptian fashion for a few years. Several movie theatres, and other establishments used an Egyptian theme. On of the Masonic founding myths were the building of the pyramids, and the pyramids were burial places, and one of their chief rituals is to have the initiate under go the third degree inside a coffin, so as to be raised.

The lotus was a symbol in ancient Egypt of re-birth, regeneration, and resurrection. The flower would close, and sink beneath the surface, and in the morning re-emerge and open.
