Understanding Royal Arch Masonry for staying true to Freemasonry vision

Freemasonry is a fraternal organization that encourages its every member to be a better individual and follow the path of constant learning at every stage. In old times, they worked as operative Masons; they used words and signs to identify themselves while travelling from one building to another so that there is no misrepresentation. Later, these words and signs came to be known as the secrets of Freemasonry. This fraternal organization is free to men of all faiths, races and social status. It is no longer a society of operative Masons but still the entire brotherhood share an interest in the old craft. The members of this society believe in the core principles; truth, relief and brotherly love. Masonic regalia are a way of reminding them of what their brotherhood believes in. With these regalia pieces staying true to their brotherhood's visions becomes easier.

There are many Freemasonry Lodges in different parts of the world and all of them and their workings are governed by the Grand Lodges. Also, every Freemason has to progress through three different degrees namely Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft and Master Mason. Moreover, there are many other orders and degrees besides these three main degrees. Each of these degrees has their own set of principles, teachings and ceremonies associated to them. Apart from the three main degrees, all other degrees expand the teachings of these main degrees only. Some of these degrees and orders include Royal Arch, Crptic Mason and Christian Chivalry among others.

Royal Arch Masonry

Freemasons who have attained the degree of a Master Mason with a period of four wee3ks standing in a legally constituted Lodge are entitled to join Royal Arch Masonry. The degree of Master Mason is deemed complete when the Mason has been exalted into a Royal Arch Chapter. Members of Royal Arch are known as Companions and they meet Chapters. Royal Arch Masonry is considered as the continuation of Craft Freemasonry and the first documented evidence of it comes from Ireland in 1743. It is also regarded as the fourth degree by the Antients in England whereas the Moderns didn’t officially recognized Royal Arch degree at all. These differences were resolved although not completely by the Union of Grand Lodges and by a compromise it was declared as the official and accepted part of the ‘Pure and Ancient Freemasonry’. Men of all religions and faiths are free to join Royal Arch Masonry.
