  • Fellow Craft Degree: The White Apron, Working Tools & Jewels

    In the Fellow Craft Degree, the Mason is reminded of the enduring symbolism of the white leather apron as an emblem of purity and moral integrity.

    He learns how it distinguishes the Fellow Craft from the Entered Apprentice and connects to the ancient builders of King Solomon’s Temple.

    The degree then presents the Working Tools of a Fellow Craft: the Plumb, Square, and Level — each carrying profound moral lessons for upright living and virtuous conduct.

    Also revealed are the Jewels of a Fellow Craft: the Attentive Ear, the Instructive Tongue, and the Faithful Breast.

    A powerful ritual passage focused on purity, virtue, and the responsibilities of the second degree.

    Ideal for Masons deepening their understanding of the Craft.

  • Fellow Craft Degree: The Square, Charity & the Path from Ignorance to Knowledge

    Step into the Fellow Craft Degree — the second step in the Masonic journey.

    As the candidate enters, he is reminded that the Square is the rule and guide of his conduct with all mankind, but especially with a brother Mason.

    Hear the timeless scripture from 1 Corinthians 13 recited in full:

    “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal…”

    …culminating in the powerful truth: “And now abideth Faith, Hope, and Charity, these three; but the greatest of these is Charity.”

    This degree symbolizes the ardent mind laboring amid difficulties — moving out of ignorance into knowledge, from darkness to intellectual and moral light. The Entered Apprentice emerges from darkness; the Fellow Craft rises toward Divine Truth through the pursuit of learning, science, and virtue.

    The officer assures the candidate: nothing in this degree conflicts with his duties to God, country, neighbor, family, or self.

    A profound meditation on morality, charity, personal growth, and the builder’s tools — perfect for Masons studying the Craft or seekers drawn to its ancient wisdom.

    Part of the authentic Masonic degree experience.

    From time immemorial, Free and Accepted Masons have been called upon to solemnly dedicate monuments and gravestones to the memory of departed Brothers. This professional narration presents the entire Ritual for Masonically Dedicating a Monument exactly as practiced — word for word, with every response, symbolic test, and act of consecration preserved.

    You will hear the Worshipful Master, Wardens, and Brethren perform the ancient ceremony step by step: the testing of the stone with the Plumb (“to walk uprightly before God and man”), the Level (“the equality of all men”), and the Square (“to square our actions by the square of virtue”).

    Engraved upon the monument are the sacred words: Oheb Eloah (Love of God), Amal-sagghi (Great Labor), and Oheb Kerobo (Love of our Neighbor) — the three great duties that stand at the summit of Masonic wisdom.

    Experience the moving consecration with the traditional elements of Corn, Wine, and Oil — symbols of nourishment, refreshment, and joy — accompanied by the beautiful verses of the Master’s Hymn and the ancient chants of dedication. The Master solemnly declares the monument consecrated to the sacred memory of the Brother, invoking the protection of the Great Architect of the Universe.

    This is more than ritual. It is a powerful reminder of Masonic values: upright conduct, equality, moral virtue, brotherly love, and the hope that our works endure beyond the grave.
