There are two Degrees: Knights Templar and Knights of Malta, these being joined by a ‘passing’ Degree of Knight of St Paul.  A candidate for the first Degree is in the position of a pilgrim travelling symbolically through hardship and dangers until he is received as a Knight.  It teaches humility and urges the candidate to live his life as a Christian Knight.  The second Degree deals with the period when the Knights travelled from Palestine to reach their final home in Malta, emphasising their Christian virtues. 
Candidates for installation must profess the Christian faith and be both Master Masons and Royal Arch Companions.
