Royal Arch Masonry is a branch of Freemasonry that focuses on the completion of the Masonic journey. It is considered the first appendant degree, which means it builds upon the foundational teachings of the three basic degrees of Craft Masonry. Members explore themes of resurrection, redemption, and the importance of knowledge. The organization is structured into chapters, where members gather to discuss moral lessons and engage in rituals. Royal Arch Masons believe in the significance of the Holy Royal Arch, which symbolizes the completion of a Mason's journey and the pursuit of truth and enlightenment.
