"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

I think I mentioned somewhere that when I get knighted...I am going to have pizza afterwards. Well...likt I always say..I do everything 110%...so I researched pizza. It was around in Italy in the late 900's and was topped with cheese and spices and after tomatoes were brought to Europe from the new world in the 1500's, that's when the italians added them as paste to the pozza. So in the 1500's, pizza as we know it existed! So we will be eating medieval food!

I just finished my vigil area that will be used before the knighting. One source said it was usual for the upcoming knight to have the shields of his fellow members, so I added this. The other two are saints that the medieval knights prayed to.

That's a very cool touch. Looking forward to it!

That is an impressive Vigil Area in which it inspired me to create something like that.  I thank you for the idea Sir John. 

Also, I am glad you not only show your Faith but also you have an Icon or painting of St. George, my Chivalric Role Model and inspiration for pursuing and living by the Christian Code of Chivalry, well done!

Very nice, Sir John. Will make for a more authenticated yet personal touch to the ceremony. :) Funny that you posted this. I was working on a vigil area as a space in my battle tent for my events.

Thanks for all your comments on my vigil area. As I told you before...whatever I do, I do 110%. I set it up in the basement, however, unfortunately I recieved a notice that the city is replacing it's water meters inside the house, and the area around it must be cleared...so I have to dismantle it. I probably won't build it up again in the near future, as I'm still busily working on getting the "knighting" area and "banquet" area ready for my knighting. It's slow going because of the heat.

Those who come to my knighting I think will be impressed at my setup. (I also have a little surprise area made, which I won't devulge.)

That's all for now...getting hot already near my computer and my a/c is right next to it, so I can't run the a/c when I'm online.

Sir John.

PS......noone commented, but I attached my "philosophy" slogan to my signature. It means: Excess in moderation.

Sir Gerard,

You have no idea! I don't know where you live, but if you're one of the knights that come here...I think you will have a memorable knighting event.

Sir John

I wish I could be there to be part of your knighting Sir John, but alas it is a little too far for my earthly flesh to travel ( or for my limited funds to stretch). I shall, instead, be joining you in spirit.

Here are some of the items I am using to build my tent altar for prayer & knighting ceremony in my Order. I'll take final pics when completed.  Please leave thoughts.
