The Degrees of Freemasonry

Degrees of Freemasonry represent levels of initiation and progressing understanding within the fraternity. Typically, there are three main degrees: Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft, and Master Mason. Each degree signifies a step in moral and personal development, with rituals and teachings that explore virtues like integrity, charity, and truth. Advancement through these degrees reflects a deepening commitment and knowledge, encouraging members to apply these principles in life. While the degrees structure teachings, they also foster brotherhood, self-improvement, and moral reflection among members.
