Katherine Tingley and the Theatrical Work of the Universal Brotherhood and Theosophical Society: 1898-1929

The Seven Kings

"The Procession of the Seven Kings" was a pro-peace demonstration that took place in the streets of San Diego and the grounds of the Point Loma headquarters in 1914 and 1925. It was part of an international event known at the Congress of the Parliament of Peace and Universal Brotherhood, which Tingley founded to promote international peace. The Procession of the Seven Kings was inspired by a Swedish legend telling the story of seven kings from countries who meet under seven beech trees that grow from one root and establish permanent peace.
