The Holy Royal Arch Chapter
The reason why Master Masons should join The Holy Royal Arch Chapter
The Royal Arch Degree is the climax of Ancient Craft Masonry and
Masonic Symbolism. It is described as "the root and marrow of
Freemasonry". Furthermore it is the key to admission to so many other
orders and degrees, in which one could express an interest at some future
date.
It is the logical progression in pure ancient Freemasonry which comprises
both the Craft and the Royal Arch. The lessons in the craft instruct a
Freemason to improve his relationship with those whom he may come into
contact, and to practice the principles of brotherly love, relief, and truth in
his every day life.
The Royal Arch focuses the mind on, and clarifies what has gone before
thus making it complete and perfect. It is a most beautiful ceremony,
colourful, thought provoking and interesting. It focuses on the rebuilding
of the Temple, and is a dramatic story, invoking sensations of humility,
reliance and dependence on our sublime creator
The Royal Arch follows on from the third degree, seeks and finds that
which was lost, and is the only way that a Brother can complete the journey
through pure ancient Freemasonry. The beautiful lesson that this degree
teaches, places man in the context of eternity. A Brother becomes a
complete Mason when he takes the Holy Royal Arch.
