PRINCIPLES OF FREEMASONRY
These principles collectively shape the moral and ethical foundation of Freemasonry, guiding members on a path of self-improvement, philanthropy, and brotherhood while promoting tolerance and respect for others.
Freemasonry employs construction symbolism to impart valuable life lessons that encourage members to lead purposeful lives that contribute positively to their communities. During the medieval period, stonemasons used aprons and gloves for protection while shaping raw stones. In contemporary society, Freemasons gather not to construct cathedrals or fortresses but to foster friendships and strengthen communities.
