What is Boaz and Jachin?
Boaz and Jachin are the names of the two great pillars that stood at the entrance of King Solomon's Temple, as described in the Bible (1 Kings 7:21). In Freemasonry, these pillars symbolize important principles. Jachin, often associated with the color blue, symbolizes strength and the establishment of the fraternity. Boaz, typically depicted in red, represents stability and the divine blessing upon the work. Together, they signify the steadfastness and support that Freemasonry offers its members and the community. They remind Masons of the importance of unity, harmony, and the foundation upon which their brotherhood is built. As Albert Pike states in Morals and Dogma, they represent the two great columns of the porch of Solomon's Temple, serving as a constant reminder of the spiritual and moral architecture of Freemasonry【4:1†source】.
