Freemasonry is a fraternity that champions the tenets of FRIENDSHIP, MORALITY AND BROTHERLY LOVE. There are three great duties which a Mason is charged to inculcate: to God, to his neighbor and to himself.
Since Freemasonry is not a religion, any man of lawful age that believes in a Supreme Being and the immortality of the soul can be made a Mason. In every far-flung corner of the Earth, you will find a Mason, as the Ancient Brotherhood extends to every country in the World in one form or another. |

History
Masonry (or Freemasonry) is the oldest fraternity in the world. No one knows just how old it is because the actual origins have been lost in time. Probably, it arose from the guilds of stonemasons who built the castles and cathedrals of the Middle Ages. Possibly, they were influenced by the Knights Templar, a group of Christian warrior monks formed in 1118 to help protect pilgrims making trips to the Holy Land.
In 1717, Masonry created a formal organization in England when the first Grand Lodge was formed. A Grand Lodge is the administrative body in charge of Masonry in some geographical area. In the United States, there is a Grand Lodge in each state and the District of Columbia. In Canada, there is a Grand Lodge in each province. Local organizations of Masons are called lodges. There are lodges in most towns, and large cities usually have several. There are about 13,200 lodges in the United States. In a time when travel was by horseback and sailing ship, Masonry spread with amazing speed.
