Fraternal Organization
The fraternity is administratively organised into Grand Lodges (or sometimes Orients), each of which governs its own jurisdiction, which consists of subordinate (or constituent) Lodges. Grand Lodges recognise each other through a process of landmarks and regularity. There are also appendant bodies, which are organisations related to the main branch of Freemasonry, but with their own independent administration.
Freemasonry uses the metaphors of operative stonemasons' tools and implements, against the allegorical backdrop of the building of King Solomon's Temple, to convey what has been described by both Masons and critics as "a system of morality veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols."

- I worked for the Masonic Village in Elizabethtown PA so this lens was very interesting for me. Most Masons who resided at the home seemed very proud of their affiliation but no one ever talked about it. ONe guy showed me his ring but that's all he would say. I found it all very interesting.
5***** for you for a great lens.
