hand over the heart. The prayer shall be non-denominational in content.<br />

Salute<br />
The Military Salute is used when reciting the<br />

Singing of the National Anthem.<br />
Salute to the Flag<br />
A Noble who is wearing his Fez will execute a<br />
31
Right-hand salute when the Colors are within six<br />
Paces of him; he will not remove his Fez. After<br />
The Colors have passed, he should drop his right<br />
hand. In case the same Colors pass the same point<br />
Again, as frequently happens in a Ceremonial<br />
Procession or in display drills, the Colors need<br />
Not be saluted a second time. The same rule<br />
Applies to street parades.<br />
Prayer<br />
During the offering of a prayer, the Fez should be<br />
Removed and held in the right hand over the heart, with jewels facing up.<br />
