What are the three lights in Freemasonry?
In Freemasonry, the three lights refer to the Sun, Moon, and the Master Mason. These lights are represented by three large candles placed on high candlesticks within the lodge. The Sun symbolizes the ruling force of the day, the Moon represents the night, and the Master Mason governs the lodge itself. This arrangement emphasizes the importance of light in Masonic rituals and the guidance it provides to the brethren during their work.
As noted in the text, “Have you any Lights in your Lodge? A. Yes, Three. What do they represent? A. Sun, Moon and Master-Mason.”.
