5 points of fellowship

The Five Points of Fellowship in Freemasonry are traditionally described as follows: Foot to Foot, Knee to Knee, Hand to Hand, Cheek to Cheek, and Hand to Back. These points symbolize the bonds of brotherhood and the close relationships that Masons are encouraged to maintain with one another. They reflect the principles of mutual support and fellowship that are central to Masonic teachings.

As noted in the historical texts, these points also have deeper symbolic meanings, relating to the five chief signs of humanity and the foundational aspects of Masonic architecture and orders.
