Signs and symbols of initiation into the student's degree of Freemasonry

touch that level of student brothers recognize each other,
is what we need to nail right thumb pressed to the first joint of the right hand
brother.Word if Jachin, spoken brothers
separately and one by one: the first says "Ja", the second "chin" - or each
says one-by one letter word that is pronounced then
entirely.



The student must know and another word "Boaz.""Iakin and Boaz"
were the names of two mythical pillars in Solomon's temple, which
are various legends, Masonic and medieval legends, probably,
serve as a source or reason for the Masonic.Finally, sign student
degree: it is necessary to carry out his right hand horizontally at the neck.

When the wizard is experiencing an example, does the newly adopted touch, word and sign newly adopted responds to new questions: how he dressed again, still as brought to the master and all the brothers to thank for taking in the "decent society", as the master called himto "northeast lodges" and presented him with apron, "a sign of innocence, older than the Golden Fleece or Roman Eagle, and honor the stars and dressings any other orders were under the sun."

Answers continued: "I sat down then on the right hand of the master who
showed me the tools adopted by the student: these were the 24 inch scale,
Norma and hammer. Norma served me to do my job
rectangular, 24-inch scale tovymeryat my job, hammer -
to cut the waste material to be easily and correctly apply
Norma. "

Master."Brother, since we are not all running Freemasons (Masons), we
classify these tools to our moral life, what we call
spiritualization: explain it."
pupil."The 24-inch scale is 24 hours of the day."
Master."How do you divide them?"
pupil."Six hours of work, six hours to the service of God,
six hours in the service of a friend or brother," as I have the opportunity
without harm to himself and his family ", and six hours of sleep."

Then, answering the wizard's questions, the pupil said:

- I was neither dressed nor undressed, neither barefoot nor unshoed and rope
neck because if I stumbled and ran into the street, the people would have accepted
me for a madman, but if he saw my brother, he would have me
bigwigs back and would take care to let me have justice.His eyes were
me tied to my heart could perceive that I
was then in darkness (ie, with respect to the mysteries of Freemasonry), so I have to keep
the world in darkness.Metal was selected for I have not brought in
box nothing to attack or defend, and also because since I was poor
and had no money when he was made a Mason, it taught me that I should
helpall poor and do not have money to take as much as for me
possible.Three strong strike on the door means well-known saying of Scripture:
«Ask, and it shall be given you; seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you."

Freemasonry is saying is used like this: I was looking for and in my soul, I
asked my friend, I knocked and the door opened to me Freemasonry.Sword, Spear
or other military weapons were put in charge to my naked left breast
because the left breast of all closer to the heart, so that it is the more
might have to prick my conscience as a weapon then pricked my body.
I circled three times round about the lodge to all the brothers saw that I
properly cooked.After taking in the students my left knee was bent and naked
because his left knee is the weakest part of my body as
newly adopted student is the weakest part of the masonry, in which I have just joined
.

Lodge looks like an oblong, rectangular quadrilateral.
its length - from east to west.Width - from north to south.Height - from ground to sky
.Depth - from the ground to its center.The depth of the box
extends from the surface to its center because Masonry is universal.

Lodge is located on the east to the west because it is located, or
should be located, all the churches and chapels, and it is because the gospel preached
especially in the east, and then spread out to the west.

Lodge is supported by three great pillars, they are called: the wisdom, strength and beauty
.Pillars of Wisdom is a master in the east.The pillars of strength -
senior warden in the west.Post Beauty - junior warden in the south.
First, because the wizard gives workers the instructions that they were
its business in a proper style, with good harmony.Second, as the sun goes down, to finish the day
as senior warden is in the west, to issue
workers their pay, which is the strength and support of all the work.Third:
because junior warden stands in the south at high noon (which is
beauty of the day) to szyvat workers to rest from work and look to
they get back to work to ensure that the master has received this
funand profits.The stock is supported by the three pillars because
wisdom, strength and beauty are performers of all cases and without them nothing can be done
.This is because wisdom comes up, the strength of support and
beauty graces.

Master then asks, "What time is it, brother?".
answer."Most noon."
Master: "Summon the people to work for rest and see that they are turned again
time again to work."

This completes the Masonic conversation concluded Masonic
song is sung, and the Masons are around the table.When the last verse of the song they
join hands as follows: a man standing on the right, the left hand takes his neighbor
right hand, or standing on the left takes his right hand with his left hand neighbor
- so composed Masonic chain.Brothers sing, raising and lowering his hands to the beat of loud knocking on his feet.

After all the talk about what they want and the ceremony ends
.
