Royal Arch

The Royal Arch Degree is a significant and exalted part of Freemasonry, often considered the completion of the Master Mason's journey. Rooted in the story of the rebuilding of King Solomon's Temple after the Babylonian exile, it symbolizes the recovery of the Lost Word, a representation of divine truth and spiritual wisdom that had been lost. Central to its teachings are themes of discovery, enlightenment, and restoration, with key figures like Zerubbabel, Haggai, and Joshua guiding candidates through the ritual. The degree emphasizes values such as unity, perseverance, and the pursuit of truth, while the distinctive regalia, featuring symbols like the Triple Tau, reflects its rich symbolic meaning. As a culmination of the Craft degrees, the Royal Arch offers deeper insight into the inner journey of a Mason.
