Description:... Freemasonry is one of mankind's oldest existing secular brotherhoods -- many of the founding fathers of the United States, including George Washington, were members, and today there are over ten million freemasons worldwide. This book explains freemasonry through its symbols: the freemason's calendar; Solomon's Temple; the stonemason's tools; and special clothing, customs, and rituals. Richly illustrated, Symbols of Freemasonry is designed both for the initiated and for newcomers interested in understanding this fascinating but often misrepresented society.
