What is the Lodge of Perfection?
Many questions raised in the Craft Lodge are answered in the Scottish Rite degrees.
This Body confers degrees from 4th to 14th. They amplify the legend of the Master Mason Degree and the story of the building of King Solomon’s Temple. These degrees are designed to build on the teachings of the first three degrees given in the Craft Lodge.
Unlike the Craft Lodge, candidates are not required to do memory work in any of the Scottish Rite degrees. Upon completion of the 14th degree, the new Scottish Rite member is entitled to wear the distinguished Scottish Rite ring that has retained its design over 200 years. An inscription inside the ring reads: “Virtue has joined, death shall not separate”.
