Pieces
of regalia hold great importance in the lives of Freemasons. Members wear these
pieces of regalia with pride to show their commitment and affiliation towards
their brotherhood. They make it a part of their personal style and fashion
statement. Different Masonic symbols are also marked on different forms of
regalia that are sometimes used to show a specific rank.
Nowadays,
Masonic regalia are not just limited to more traditional and ceremonial pieces
which may be too flashy to wear on a daily basis. Now more subtle and smaller
pieces are also designed which brothers can wear on a day-to-day basis. Regalia
can complement both casual and formal attires.
Masonic
regalia also make perfect gifts and are worthy for every Freemason. Freemasons
share a different level of connection and consider every member as a brother
who has same blood flowing though their veins. Masonic regalia are gifted as an
appreciation or respect by a brother to his other brother. These are the most
appropriate example of giving respect to the members of this organization. This
depicts the real connection between humans and that it runs beyond biological
aspects.
