The objective of this quiz is to arouse the curiosity of newly made masons. I have freely borrowed visuals to connect the freemasons symbols, and esoteric meaning.

2. Why Candidates are selected so carefully?

its fraternal structure.

effort, ideas, and ideals – is one
of the foundations of
Freemasonry.
