Templars' Ritual Enigmas: Missing Prayer Records
The provided quoted materials do not contain any information about the specific prayers the Templars recited during their services, nor about the meaning of these prayers. All the cited sources focus on describing the internal organization of the order, the initiation procedures (for example, the trials new members underwent), and the symbolism, such as the Templar emblem—two riders on one horse. For instance, one excerpt from file link txt states:"Omar's Mosque, which stood in place of the temple, was transformed by them into their sanctuary, where priors from among the order’s members served. Neophytes wishing to join the order are subjected to unheard-of trials: they are forced, in the name of severing their will and complete obedience to the master, to break, and then trample, the cross." (source: link txt)Another material from file link txt emphasizes the symbolism and history of the order, indicating that "the beginning determined the end: both Jewish and Mohammedan occultism transformed the 'Defenders of the Holy Sepulcher' into secret demon worshippers," but it does not include any details about prayer texts or their religious significance. (source: link txt)Thus, the presented sources do not provide any indications of exactly which prayers the Templars recited, or what religious or ritual significance they held. This means that to obtain an answer to such a question, one should refer to other specialized sources, as the current collection of material does not provide information on this aspect of the order’s activities.
