Today is the 157th anniversary of the founding of the Order Knights of Pythias.

“‘Twas a night dark and gloomy, and the blood of brothers slain
Had our country’s altar overflown, leaving dread and awful stain,
And a crimson, gory curtain, heavy, dripping wet,
Had veiled our nation’s temple, when a few good brothers met.

“‘Mid the roar of deadly cannon and the clash of cruel steel,
They planned our beauteous temple, with a grand, heroic zeal –
With a prayer to the God of Heaven, in the font of living grace,
There they christened our loved Order, and vouchsafed it to the race.”

Founded in the City of Washington, February 19th, 1864.
