Best Answer

A third degree burn is a burn that extends completely through the dermis. The degree of burns measures the severity (or depth) of the burn. Third degree burn does not mean it covers more than 1/3 of the body. In that case you would be informed that 3rd degree burns covered over 1/3 of the body.

What happens at the third degree in the Knights of Columbus?

The Knights of Columbus are not a secret society, but their ceremonials are secret. This is not a question that can be answered the way one might wish. A candidate becomes a full Knight after taking his Third Degree. The First and Second Degrees are often done on the same day. The Third Degree is often done by itself. After six months, a member can then take his Fourth Degree, the last step in Knighthood, but this degree is strictly voluntary. In order of Degrees taken, Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism are the four main principles of the Order. So, basically, the Third Degree teaches Fraternity. Each degree can best be described as a dramatic presentation on these principles. They are nothing to be afraid of. However, to describe them in this forum would be do lessen their effect. To join the Knights, find a local Council or go to the website below. The Knights of Columbus are 1.8 million strong. They are a Catholic, Family, Fraternal organization. They also provide life insurance to their members and families with 75 billion dollars of insurance in force. To join you must be a male practicing Catholic, 18 or over. Young men 10 to 18 can join the Columbian Squires.
