Wie nutzt man das Quadrat der Tugend?
The Square—often referred to as an emblem of virtue—serves both as a physical instrument in the lodge and as a moral guide for self-examination. In operative stonemasonry, the try-square is used to test whether stones are cut at the correct ninety-degree angle; if a stone fits the square, it is ready for the builder's use. Speculatively, it is applied to test and adjust a Mason's actions, words, and moral conduct.

What is the significance of the lodge's three lesser lights?
The three lesser lights represent the Sun, the Moon, and the Master of the Lodge. Positioned in a triangular formation, they reflect ancient symbolic traditions in which the triangle served as a emblem of Deity. Just as the sun rules the day and the moon governs the night, the Master rules and governs the lodge with equal regularity and precision. From an operational and ritual perspective, their stated purpose is to light the brethren to, at, and from their labour.
