| The Degree of Super Excellent Master: The Super Excellent Master is an honorary degree, to which
any Council Mason is entitles by virtue of his being in good standing in his
Council.
Referred to by many as the most dramatic and impressive of all the degrees of
Freemasonry. Whether you agree or not, there is no question as to its historical and Masonic
value, teaching a great lesson in Fidelity. While the scene of the degree is laid many
centuries ago, the lessons portrayed are just as essential in the present age. The degree
requires the largest cast of characters of any of the degrees, and ends with a climax never
to be forgotten. It teaches that while men may continue to build, the only permanent temple is that spiritual temple which each
erects within himself.
The degree has its emblems, which are the Square, the
Circle, and the Triangle, the symbolism of which is fully explained to the initiate. The degree constitutes the perfect drama,
exemplifying one of the most tragic events in the history of the Jewish people. |
