Masonic Lodge
A Masonic Lodge is a local organization of the Freemasons, a fraternal order that promotes moral and ethical development among its members. Each lodge operates under a charter granted by a larger governing body, often referred to as a Grand Lodge. Members gather to conduct meetings, perform rituals, and engage in community service.
Lodges typically have specific symbols and traditions, such as the use of the Square and Compasses emblem. Membership is open to men of good character who believe in a higher power, and lodges often emphasize values like brotherhood, charity, and personal growth.
