Masonic Square and Compasses
Introducing “Sacred Symbols” Collection by C.7 Design Studio. Here you will find a unique design, featuring Masonic Square and Compasses symbol. The Square and Compasses (or, more correctly, a square and a set of compasses joined together) is the single most identifiable symbol of Freemasonry. Freemasonry is a fraternal organisation that arose from obscure origins in the late 16th to early 17th century. Freemasonry now exists in various forms all over the world, with a membership estimated at around six million. The fraternity is administratively organised into independent Grand Lodges or sometimes Orientates, each of which governs its own jurisdiction, which consists of subordinate (or constituent) Lodges. There are also appending bodies, which are organisations related to the main branch of Freemasonry, but with their own independent administration. The Square and Compass or sometimes known as “The Light” is also representative of the 3rd degree in a Freemason’s level of achievement. Once a mason has reached the 3rd degree, he becomes a Master Mason. Both the square and compasses are architect's tools and are used in Masonic ritual as emblems to teach symbolic lessons. Some Lodges and rituals explain these symbols as lessons in conduct. However, as Freemasonry is non-dogmatic, there is no general interpretation for these symbols (or any Masonic symbol) that is used by Freemasonry as a whole. As measuring instruments, the tools represent judgment and discernment. In English speaking jurisdictions the Square and Compasses are often depicted with the letter "G" in the centre. The letter is interpreted to represent different words jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Among the most widely accepted interpretations are that: [G] stands for God, and is to remind Masons that God is at the centre of Freemasonry. In this context it can also stand for Great Architect of the Universe (a reference to God). In a different context, the letter stands for Geometry, described as being the "noblest of sciences", and "the basis upon which the superstructure of Freemasonry is erected."

This product was fantastic can put much better than I was anticipating, I was expecting flyer paper but it came on the wonderful glossy front Matt back thick card paper, I am so happy with it. It’s small enough to fit into my wedding invitation envelopes and not crush anything either, but apart from my own spelling mistake I missed with doesn’t matter, it’s perfect. The print was excellent perfect and glossy no smudges in either side of the print, I am over the moon on how it turned out.

Great quality. Although I think I should have ordered them the next size up. It was a bit swishy putting all the details for a wedding on this size. Printing quality was lovely and a nice design. Paper was shiny and paper was a nice thickness.
