What is it all About?
Freemasonry is a system of morality, veiled in allegory, and illustrated by symbols.
Eloquent indeed, but what exactly does this mean? While we could dedicate an entire website to this one question, we will provide you this meaning:
Morality: Principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior. A particular system of values and principles of conduct, especially one held by a specified person or society.
Allegory: A story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one.
Symbols: a thing that represents or stands for something else, especially a material object representing something abstract.
From this we can conclude that Freemasonry is a system of values and principles that we teach and practice by integrating symbols into our story telling.
