Masonic Symbol Quiz
This Masonic Symbol Quiz may be used by any member of the fraternity who seeks more light through Masonic education.
While it is the duty of the Masonic Master of the Lodge to provide a good and wholesome education to the brethren, the best use of this quiz is by the individual member and the Masonic lodge Education Officer to teach others.
Masonic quiz taking can be both fun and enlightening, wherein each brother goes away from the Masonic Education meeting knowing his time has been well spent.
This Masonic Symbol Quiz is one of several Masonic Quizzes, so take the quiz, print it for your lodge notebook and then print some copies to take to your next lodge education meeting. Knowledge is always good and should be shared!
Online Education: This Masonic website attempts to provide you with an online education to increase your Masonic knowledge of the fraternity. Your Master Mason degree, however, is not an accredited degree which you may take via online courses. The three degrees of Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft and Master Mason can only be obtained within your lodge.
Lodge Education Officers: Print multiple copies of both the questions and the answers, below, to easily and quickly perform your duties to provide Masonic education to the new members of the brethren at your next lodge education meeting.
Take this Masonic Symbol Quiz to test your knowledge of the many Masonic Symbols within Freemasonry to refresh your memory.
