Masonic rituals
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, which serves as a meeting place for members.
The rituals are structured around various degrees of membership, each with its own unique ceremonies. These degrees, such as the Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft, and Master Mason, represent different stages of knowledge and understanding within the organization. Overall, Masonic rituals aim to foster brotherhood, ethics, and community service among members.
