Temple

What is the significance of the lodge being called a temple?

The designation of a lodge as a temple reflects its symbolic foundation in the Temple of Solomon, which serves as the archetype from which all lodge temple symbolism is derived. Quatuor Coronati Lodge notes that the building of King Solomon's Temple has functioned as one of the central allegories of the Craft degrees as worked in England and Wales since the eighteenth century, serving as a recurring image throughout ritual.
