Masonic Order

The Masonic Order, or Freemasonry, is a fraternal organization that traces its origins to the late 16th to early 17th century. It promotes moral and ethical development among its members through a system of rituals and symbols drawn from stonemasonry. Members, called Freemasons, often engage in community service and charitable work. Freemasonry emphasizes values such as brotherhood, integrity, and personal growth. Membership is typically open to men of good character, and it involves various degrees, each with its own teachings and philosophies. Freemasonry operates on principles of secrecy and discretion regarding its internal workings.
