Symbolism is as old as religious thinking among men.  Allegorical ceremonies, whether they be ancient or modern, use ritual to bring us into the presence of the greater truths of life. 

• Working Tools - Implements of architecture imprint on the memory wise and serious truths


• Principle Tenets - Brotherly love, Relief, and Truth


• Cardinal Virtues - Temperance, Fortitude, Prudence, and Justice


• Point in Circle - The Holy Saints John, Masonry's patron saints


• Winding Stairs - They represent the circuitous way we must travel to investigate the many sides of truth


• The Letter "G" - By it we discover the power, wisdom, and goodness of the Grand Artificer of the Universe
