Masonic regalia apron to welcome new members in Freemasonry
by Collection Masonic ManufacturerFreemasonry
is the oldest and largest fraternal organization. It is a society of men that
are mainly concerned with high moral and spiritual values. These brothers
regularly meet at Lodges they belong to in order to interact about the ongoing
activities of the Lodge and also to communicate about recruiting new members to
the organization. While meeting at Lodges, Masons also use the platform to
spread the teachings of the fraternity and also conduct ceremonies that are a
representation of its history, philosophy and symbols.
One of the
most important functions of the Masonic Lodges is to go through all the
applications of the candidates that want to be part of this fraternity and also
recruit the new members that are worthy. Once a new member has gone the tough
selection process, he becomes worthy of being called as Freemason. A member of
high intellectual, social and moral values is considered capable of being part
of this organization. All the Freemasons refer each other as brother. Special
ceremonies and rituals are carried out to welcome new members. For performing
rituals, Masonic regalia are also used. They have a great deal of importance as
they have significant Freemasonry symbols on them. Some of the regalia include
aprons, gloves, rings, cufflinks, pocket watches, tie pins, pendants etc.
Masonic aprons
Out of all
the regalia, the most common and symbolic is Masonic Regalia Apron. They were used by Stone Masons and till date
they are used by the members of Freemasons. Aprons are no longer restricted to
kitchen whereas are used in the Freemasonry rituals. Every order in this
organization has its own apron that signifies its specific teachings. Lodges
can also get their aprons and other regalia custom made.
These days,
the aprons are worn by the modern Masons to symbolize the aprons that were used
by the Stone Masons in the 1600s and 1700s.
The aprons worn by the Stone Masons were very long in length and covered
the whole body in order to protect them from the tools used for cutting the
stones. On the other hand, the aprons used these days are not that long and are
given to all the new members during the initiation ceremonies. All the
Freemasons are expected to keep their aprons pristine clean and in perfect condition.
Nowadays, the aprons are made of cloth rather than leather and lamb skin.
