Masonic Orders

Masonic Orders are fraternal organizations rooted in historical traditions of operative stonemasons. They function as social and charitable networks promoting moral development, personal growth, and community service. Members, known as Freemasons, engage in rituals, symbolism, and allegories to explore ethical principles like integrity, brotherhood, and charity. These Orders often have degrees or levels of initiation, each conveying moral lessons. While some aspects are private, they emphasize fellowship and self-improvement, making them distinct from public societies. Overall, Masonic Orders aim to foster ethical living and social harmony through shared values and secret traditions.
