Anno Lucis Calendar. As we have already identified, this is particularly significant within freemasonry. The year of light refers to the date that the world was created.

It adds 4000 years to the current anno domini count, symbolising the masonic belief in the light of knowledge emerging 4000 years before the birth of christ. Anno lucis (abbreviated as a.l.) translates to the year of the light.
