Hello, This is the Stansbury Park Knights of Freedom group. We just had a great time with a Knighting Feast and Knighting.
Since we are a new group all of our boys needed to be knighted. So we decided to do something like the old days would do.
The leaders were all in costume and we invited the whole family to come to a feast to see thier boys knighted.
First we went over how colors and shields with decorations came about in the Holy Crusade (so that they parents would understand abit about what we are doing), and why we chose our colors and design on our tabards and flag. Then we had each boy tell us what they did to earn thier knighthood (what virtues they worked on). And why they chose the virtue they did to be knighted. After that we went trough what it means to be a knight. And then had each boy take the oath to be a knight. After they were knighted and gone though the boys and swords, they each got to slay a demond of vice.
When we were finished we then invited all to join us in a feast.
Every one really loved it and said that they were glad that thier boys could be apart of the KOF.
