Masonic rituals are ceremonial practices performed by members of the Freemasons, a fraternal organization. These rituals often involve symbolic actions, spoken words, and specific attire, designed to impart moral lessons and promote personal development. They typically take place in a Masonic lodge and are structured around a series of degrees, each representing different stages of knowledge and enlightenment. The rituals include various elements such as oaths, symbols, and allegorical stories. They serve to strengthen the bonds among members and reinforce the values of brotherhood, charity, and integrity. Through these ceremonies, Freemasons aim to cultivate a sense of community and shared purpose.
