secretary General, together with the great Patriarch Gino Sandri and the Grand Seneschal, Domizio Cipriani, delivers to
the mayor of Rennes le Château, Alexandre Painco, the cheque for donations for the restoration of works within the

Church of St. Mary Magdalene, thus celebrating, through a gesture of solidarity, the Historical and Tradition Association,
which since immemorial times, binds the Priory of Zion at Rennes le Château.

The occasion, which saw the delegation of the order, welcomed with great benevolence and affection by the people of the
country and by the guests gathered at the event, was fruitful of not a few new opportunities and possibilities, having been

organized, immediately after the Ceremony of delivery of the donation, a very authoritative conference, under the
patronage of the same municipality, which had among its rapporteurs, also the great Patriarch Gino Sandri, who
concluded the conference with his dedicated speech in particular to Alain Féral, artist, musician, actor and also researcher
in the Enigma of Rennes Le Château and author of "Rennes-le-Château: Clef du Royaume des Morts".

To attend the conference the French elite of researchers in the context of the mystery of Rennes the Château, the Visigoths,
the Languedoc, the Templars and the Priory of Sion, formed by academics and writers of international Carat, under the

skillful coordination and direction of the editor-in-chief of the "Gazette de Rennes-le-Château", Johan Netchacovitch.

Among the distinguished rapporteurs are names like Kris Darquis, student, researcher and author of "L'Arc de Roseline-
Le secret Templier de Rennes-le-Château", Jean-Michel Pous, scholar, researcher and president of the Research association
"Racines et Recherches Audoises ", author of several publications on the Visigoths, Templars, Cathars and all other
aforementioned topics. Jean Michel Pous is also an author with Jean-Pierre Alard of an encyclopedia on Rennes-les-Bains

and Rennes-le-Château; Jean Michel Pous is an authentic researcher and scholar, who knows how to use on the field, the
fruit of research made on books, having the necessary skills to see and undertake new paths and search results where many
others had stopped for decades ; Together with them we recall the precious intervention of André Goudonnet, who
specifically addressed the connection between Berenger Saunière and Henri Boudet.

fundamental work on the history of the Priory of Zion, "Le Prieuré de Sion – Enquête sur Le
Véritable Secret de Rennes-le-Château" C. Doumergue & T. E. Garnier. and. Arqa

The event gave rise to a strengthening of the partnership between the Priory of Sion and the

editorial Staff of the "Gazette de Rennes-le-Château", in order to promote and coordinate
new cultural events together, which have the ambitious and firm prerogative of integrating
the great academic value of historical knowledge and research with the authentic
understanding of doctrine and tradition, with the aim of tracing a new line of study and
research that is absolutely innovative for richness, approach and completeness.
The Priory of Zion is the depository of a traditional doctrinal deposit, a knowledge that needs

to be transmitted continuously from generation to generation, not to be lost.

The repository of knowledge we talk about has to do with Jesus and Mary Magdalene, with
the Visigoths, with the Druids, with the Cathars, with the Templars and Rennes le Château
has been, for a period, historically witness of this deposit.
