The Shriners wear that same red Fez today. These blood stained caps eventually were called Fezzes and became a badge of honor for those who killed a Christian. The Muslim zealots dipped their caps in the blood of their victims as a testimony to Allah. During the butchering of the people of Fez, the streets literally ran red with the blood of the martyred Christians. In usual occult fashion, the initiate swears that he will be inseparably obligated to this “most powerful and binding oath”, in advance, and that he may NEVER retract or depart from it. Remember that the Allah of Islam is not just another name for God. These men, women and children were slain because of their faith in Christ, all in the name of Allah, the same demon god to whom every Shriner must bow, with hands tied behind his back, in worship, proclaiming him the god of his fathers in the Shrine initiation.

In the early 8th century, Muslim hordes overran the Moroccan city of Fez, shouting, “There is no god but Allah and Mohammed is his prophet.” There, they butchered approximately 50,000 Christians. Worn and even carried to the grave with pompous dignity, the history of the Fez is barbaric and anti-Christian. “The Fez itself is an example of this double meaning behind most of Freemasonry’s facade. One author (whose father had been a high-ranking member of the Lodge before leaving it due to his Christian conscience) has explained the history of these things: Well, as I continued my research, I found out that something happened in the city of Fez after which this piece of headgear is named. The fez was named after the city of Fez, Morocco? Much like the white apron worn by Masons as a symbol of their brotherhood, the fez is worn only by Shriners as a symbol of their membership in this unique fraternity.” ( ) It also serves as an outward symbol of one’s membership in the fraternity. Named after the city of Fez, Morocco, the hat represented the Arabian theme the fraternity was founded on. “The fez is one of the most recognizable symbols of Shriners International and was adopted as the Shriners’ official headgear in 1872. Not long ago, I was doing some research on that and found out from the Shriners’ International website about the history of those red hats. Usually they are wearing these red hats called a “fez.” I have seen my Shriner friends raising funds for their organization. I have, in fact, known some people who have been helped by these hospitals.Īnd I am very thankful for them and what they do! On 28 February 2003 it was added to the Sam Waller Museum’s collection.All my life, I have heard of the Shriners Hospitals that do so much to help children who are hurting and afflicted with various diseases and ailments. It was purchased by a member of The Pas Shrine Club and used for many years. This particular fez was produced by Dominion Regalia Ltd. The inside has a blue liner with a label of the owner’s details. On the right side there is a silver broach with a studded Arabic sword and a crescent below with a maple leaf in the centre. A long black tassel is attached from the top and hangs down the side. There is also a symbol of an Arabic Sword and an Egyptian crest with a silver star below it. The beaded lettering on the front of this particular fez reads “KHARTUM THE PAS SHRINE CLUB”. Looking closely at a fez will reveal important information about its wearer, such as membership, special roles within the organisation and much more.

Each member’s fez is decorated and designed by the member to show allegiance to their temple. The fez is worn at Shriners’ functions, in parades and at outings to gain exposure for the fraternity. It also serves as a recognisible symbol of a Shriner’s membership in the fraternity, similar to the apron of the Masons.

Named after the city of Fez, Morocco, the article represented the Arabian theme the founders of Shriners International founded their fraternity on.
