What is the significance of the Inner Veil in Freemasonry?
Passing through the veils symbolizes the trials, obstacles, and moral preparation required in the search for Truth. Each stage in the progression represents distinct virtues demanded of the candidate during his journey toward the Holy Place, culminating in the white veil as an emblem of purity of life, which is necessary to be found worthy of receiving Divine Truth and the Signet of Zerubbabel.

What is the Royal Arch banner and what do its emblems mean?
Banners used in a Royal Arch Chapter derive from those traditionally associated with the twelve tribes of Israel during their wilderness encampment. While scriptural passages note that the tribes pitched by their own standards, the specific devices and colors stem from Talmudic tradition rather than the biblical text itself. English Chapters display twelve banners corresponding to all the tribes, whereas American Chapters use four banners attributed to the principal tribes of Dan, Reuben, Ephraim, and Judah.

What are the symbols used in Royal Arch Masonry?
The triple tau, formed by three tau crosses conjoined at their feet, serves as the principal emblem and badge of the Order. Historically derived from the single tau cross as a symbol of preservation and eternal life, the triple tau in its Royal Arch combination is interpreted by Albert C. Mackey as a mark distinguishing those who know the true Divine Name. Old English lectures also connected the angles formed by its intersecting lines to the five Platonic bodies representing the four elements and the universe.
