The Masonic Lodge

A Masonic Lodge is a local chapter of Freemasonry, a global fraternity that promotes moral and ethical development through symbolic rituals and traditions. Members, called Masons or Freemasons, gather in these lodges to conduct meetings, engage in charitable activities, and foster personal growth. The lodge serves as a community for fellowship and shared values, emphasizing virtues like integrity, charity, and self-improvement. While its rituals are private and symbolic, Freemasonry is generally non-religious and non-political, focusing on universal principles that encourage brotherhood and moral development among members.
