Strange symbols in the graveyard
Yes I have this weird love for graveyards… I love the peacefulness, I love to hear the birds sing, and for some reason I feel really relaxed.
Tonight I was walking in the graveyard taking pictures with my digital camera when I came across this strange symbol. Freemasons have symbols kinda like this one.. could it be a freemason symbol? If anyone knows what it is please tell me I am so curious about it

That is a symbol of the fraternal order of the Knights of Pythias. They are not related to the Masons. They became popular after the Civil War and declined during this century. They are still around though.
You can google Knights of Pythias.
FOB = Farting On Bob… not sure what the triangles are for.. maybe he was an expert in geometry or something.. LOLs…

Its FCB standing for Faith, Brotherhood, and Charity.
The Masons will often use Faith, Hope, and Charity, or sometimes Wisdom, Strength, and Beauty. They are used in different imagery and parts of the ritual.
The Oddfellows use FLC for Faith, Love, and Charity.
But the Knights of Pythias use FCB.
I have been a Mason since I turned 20 and love to study different fraternal groups. I’m thinking of joining the Oddfellows as they are in terrible decline and need members. They Knights of Pythias have chapters in most states but I have never really thought about joining. They are by far the smallest of the three groups.
