The Origins of Freemasonry

Freemasonry traces its spiritual and symbolic roots to ancient civilizations such as Egypt and Babylon, but its documented origin begins in 1717 with the formation of the first Grand Lodge in England. It evolved from the medieval stonemason guilds and transformed into a philosophical brotherhood.

Freemasons believe in moral uprightness, self-discipline, and the existence of a Supreme Being known as the Great Architect of the Universe. They value brotherhood, truth, charity, and the pursuit of enlightenment through symbolic rituals and ancient teachings.

Freemasonry communicates its philosophy through powerful symbols such as:

The Square and Compass – morality and guidance
The All-Seeing Eye – divine watchfulness
The Pillars of Solomon’s Temple – wisdom, strength, and beauty
