What Is The Order Of Melchizedek? Exploring The World’s Oldest Priesthood
Hear he, hear he; the Order of Melchizedek will now taketh place. For thou whom wishes to be initiated into the Order, taketh thine bread and wine from thy high priest. Haveth taken thou oath, renouncing whence ye have known, thou shalt walk through the flames of baptism, and emerge as an initiate — initiate meaning an eternal service to the Order of Melchizedek. Sounds like a scene from this year’s Renaissance Fair. While the Order of Melchizedek is related to priests and baptism, it was likely not the focus of any event at the Renaissance Fair. The Order of Melchizedek is an archaic priesthood that continues to elude history. Its principles have permeated human cultures all over the globe, yet it’s origin remains unknown.
