Innovating by fostering tradition
Freemasonry seeks to uphold universal values of love for all mankind, assistance to those less fortunate and to seek truth in all and every situation.
It's the common bond that binds one Mason to another - regardless of his culture, religion, politics or background.
What is Tradition?
We have been transmitting our tradition from generation to generation, from Master to Apprentice for centuries.
Tradition is... Knowledge
Freemasons are the heirs of hundreds of years of knowledge and customs that are passed from member to member.
Tradition is... Ceremony
The ceremony is a considerable part of the Masonic journey: It embodies life lessons and important teachings. Simple gestures can have great impact and relevant underlying meanings.
Tradition is... Identification
For Masons, Traditions identify the member himself. By following our secular traditions we learn peculiar lessons of morality that help us conduct our life.
Tradition is... History
Evidence suggests that we are the inheritors of practices coming from operative masons working in the Middle Ages. It's an incredible privilege that we value with our commitment to learning and 'perfecting our Craft'.
