Five Brothers Passed to the Degree of Fellowcraft

We are delighted to announce that Brothers Chris Moran, Richard Council, Mike Park, Maurice Alayo, and Jamey Garth have been raised to the degree of Fellowcraft.

The Fellowcraft Degree is the second degree in the Blue Lodge of Freemasonry, following the Entered Apprentice Degree and preceding the Master Mason Degree. This middle stage of the Masonic journey has deep historical roots and profound symbolic significance.

The term 'Fellowcraft' originates from the guilds of medieval stonemasons. A craftsman who completed his apprenticeship was known as a 'fellow of the craft', recognizing his progression from novice to skilled worker, capable of earning wages. This status is analogous to the Fellowcraft Degree in Freemasonry.

The Fellowcraft Degree represents the stage of adulthood and responsibility in a man's life, in the broader allegory of human development conveyed through the three Masonic degrees. In this degree, Masons are encouraged to cultivate their intellectual capacities - to seek knowledge, reflect on moral virtues, and explore science, art, and the mysteries of nature.
