Why the name Knights? Medieval Knighthood, in the
service of manor lords, calls forth such ideals as honor, loyalty,
justice, chivalry, and respect for all. In the use of this term,
the Altar Server is reminded of his duty to serve the Lord of
lords with fidelity and honor, to treat others with respect and
justice, and to live a good personal life, defending always the
rights of God and His Holy Church. In the names page and
squire, the server is reminded again of the years of patient
practice and study that went into the training of a knight and
should consider with what devotion and perseverance he should attend to his own training in the service of the Altar. The chevalier was a traveling knight, which
should remind the server that he should be ever traveling toward his
heavenly goal.
