DEGREE WORK:

Masonic ritual is designed around the symbolic story of the building of a great, spiritual temple, as represented by the Temple of Solomon. The three Masonic degrees are designed to represent three stages of life: youth, manhood, and age. These three steps are based on the Journeyman System of Education used by the medieval Lodges of stonemasons, which was divided into three levels: Apprentice, Journeyman and Master Craftsman.
