What are the three Great Lights in Freemasonry?

The three Great Lights in Freemasonry are the Holy Bible, the Square, and the Compasses. These symbols are fundamental to Masonic practice and are explained as follows:

• The Holy Bible serves as the rule and guide for our faith and practice.
• The Square symbolizes morality and the importance of acting justly and uprightly in all dealings.
• The Compasses represent restraint and the ability to circumscribe our desires and passions within due bounds, especially in relation to our brethren.

As stated in the Masonic Monitor, "The Holy Bible is given us as the rule and guide for our faith and practice, the Square to square our actions, and the Compasses to circumscribe our desires and keep our passions in due bounds with all mankind, especially the brethren".
