The word “Lodge” means both a group of Masons meeting together as well as the room or building in which they meet. Masonic buildings are sometimes called “temples” because the original meaning of the term was “place of knowledge” and Masonry encourages the daily advancement of Masonic knowledge.
Masonic Lodges usually meet once or twice a month to conduct regular business, vote
upon petitions for membership, and bring new Masons into the Fraternity through three
ceremonies called degrees. In the Lodge room Masons share in a variety of programmes.
Here the bonds of friendship and fellowship are formed and strengthened.
