The Degree of Royal Master:  

    Believed by many to include in its ceremonies one of the  most beautiful sections of Masonic ritual to be found in any degree.  It fully explains many of the symbols of Freemasonry and conveys in a dramatic way an incident which occurred during the building of the Temple.  It teaches the great lesson of right living and the building here on earth of that superstructure necessary for the erection of our spiritual temple.

    The Holy Vessels are the proper symbols for this degree, for they were the work of one of the most skilled artisans of the day.  They teach the necessity of having perfect bodies and minds to house man's immortal soul.
