Q
Isn’t ritual out of place in a modern society?
A
No. The ritual is a shared experience which binds the
members together. Its use of drama, allegory and
symbolism impresses the principles and teachings more
firmly in the mind of each candidate than if they were
simply passed on to him in matter-of-fact modern
language.
Q Why do grown men run around with their

trousers rolled up?

A It is true that candidates have to roll up their trouser legs
during the three ceremonies when they are being
admitted to membership. Taken out of context, this can
seem amusing, but like many other aspects of
Freemasonry, it has a symbolic meaning..
