Venerable Master

The jewel of the picture is the Square. Sen of the Square the symbol of righteousness, as distinctive jewel of the position of Worshipful, indicates that it should be the Mason straighter and fairer Store presiding.

As a symbol of righteousness, every Mason should subordinate their actions. As a symbol of virtue, we must rectify our hearts. The brace is materially the instrument used in construction. Symbolizes for the Venerable, the greatness, the wisdom of his judgments and lessons to members of the Workshop. It is this wisdom and discern ment of Justice should sprout their judgments, their judgments.

By Venerable Workshop is known, that is, being the result of the will of the Brothers of the Board, is constitutionally responsible directly and indirectly by the activity or inactivity, the brightness or the mediocrity, or disarray by participation, equality or complex, by arrogance or the atmosphere of harmony, and finally by the resounding success or failure.

VIGILANTE

Watchers are called the two officers of a Lodge today, which, in hierarchical order following the Venerable Master, which, although contrary to some traditions, succeed him as president of the work during the impediments. These three officers are called "The Three Little Lights Workshop."

The Vigilantes are direct employees of the Venerable Master to give instructions to Apprentices and Companions. Since the hierarchical order, the second Official Store, it is the 1st Vigilante instruct the Companions and the 2nd Vigilante, the third hierarchy, instructing apprentices.

FIRST VIGILANTE

Level is the Jewel of the distinctive position. And the emblem of equality. Level Masonic comprises a brace rods equal, whose angle down a Perpendicular. Equal Level symbolizes social basis of natural law and Perpendicular means that Mason should have to have a trial of Righteousness that no affection - of interest or family - must stop. What may distinguish the Freemasons and lead them to senior positions is the merits and the virtues and talents.

The level reminds the Mason that all things must be considered with equal serenity and that its symbolism has the corollary notions of Measure, Fairness, tolerance and equality and the right use of knowledge.

SECOND VIGILANTE

The Jewel of the Cargo is a plummet or Perpendicular. This suggests that jewelry should not stop at the inner aspect of things, but it must penetrate the hidden meaning of symbols and allegories. It represents the Symbol Search of Truth which is hidden in the depths, but as the elevation of feelings toward Masonic Heights. On top as bottom, discovers the beauty of the Spirit and Heart.

Plumb or Perpendicular in Freemasonry is fixed at the center of a bow. He is emblematic of the search, research, investigation of Truth. And, closer to the truth, balance, it seems to show the path to perfection. Coupled with the brace, it allows the correct and perfect the construction of the Temple.

SPEAKERS

The Jewel of the Speaker is an open book, symbolizing that it will hide nothing, leave nothing doubtful.

The Open Book symbolizes it represents the Consciousness of the Lodge, he must know the reason for defining the Canons.

The Orator, a position created by the French Freemasonry soon after its introduction in that country, has in the hierarchy of officials and the fourth asks the Word directly to the Venerable.

The Speaker is the equilibrium point of a workshop. Aided by a good speaker who can unite the maturity of a court straight to solid scholarship, a necessary knowledge of Masonic Read, it is very difficult for a Venerable fall into serious mistakes, mistakes in, or exceed the performance of their duties .

Equality, Liberty, Reason, Law and Justice, the Speaker will find the most solid guarantee, the most competent defender. For this he must possess the deepest knowledge of the General Rules of Order and the specifics of the workshop, and all that concerns the Regiment Inter in the Lodge and the positions entrusted to dignitaries and officials.

SECRETARY

As Secretary Memory is the Store, your jewelry are two crossed feathers indicating that it ensures the tradition of the Order and the Workshop, with a record of all events past and present.

The Secretary and, in hierarchical order, the Fifth Dignity and calls the Word directly to the Venerable.

The Secretary is responsible for the great history of Freemasonry. The pain history of the future will be based on what he register. If they fail to register or record the wrong facts, history, this case will be truncated or poorly told.

As the moon the symbol of the Secretary because she does not have its own light, depending on others to shine light, so the only Brother Secretary also records what was said by others in the exercise of his office. Sometimes also records his opinion, but it is only the photographer of the meeting. And it sure is not little.

TREASURER

The two crossed keys, used as jewelry Treasurer of the Lodge, mean that he is the depositary of the monetary reserves of the Lodge and its handler. The key is a strong symbol and landmark within Masonry, very special in mind so-called High Degrees. She is regarded as a symbol of Silence, the wariness, intelligence, prudence and discretion.

The Treasurer, as Secretary of the Lodge, in positions of secular nature, even in the same nomenclature. However, its value within the Administration is of paramount importance.

CHANCELLOR

Jewelry Chancellor Brother is a Timbre or seal, symbolizing that the Chancellor is the Guard Seals Shop, responsible for documentation of the Lodge and for the custody of this documentation. It is only a symbol of office, having no Masonic symbolism.

Chancellor is one of the principal officers of the Lodge. He is the faithful depository of Timbre and the Seal of his Office.

MASTER OF CEREMONIES

The graduated scale as a symbol represents the moral improvement. It is also considered a symbol of method, of righteousness, the Law can also be regarded as a symbol of Infinity, since the straight line has no beginning and no end. It is as symbol of morality that he most represents, tracing the straight line that good Mason should never depart from it. The rule appears in the Masonic Lodges as machine-mediated work time should not be lost in idleness, but rather applied to work for humanity. The first condition to the happy life of a Masonic Lodge, is the perfection of their work. That perfection depend Peace, Harmony and Dignity of which should have the real sense of duty.

The post of Master of Ceremonies is one of the positions of real importance within a Masonic Lodge. In addition to the assignments of regulation, it must be an accomplished performer of Ritualistic and signs and words of the degrees in which the work is unfolding. In fact this officer should have the most complete field of Masonic ceremonial.

HOSPITABLE

The Jewel of Cargo Brother Hospitable is a small bag, symbolizing the Farnel of the Pilgrim Travelers, the Beggar is he who, on behalf of the fraternity, all meetings of the mite collection of Charity, the Solemnity Masonic towards the less favored by fortune.

The Rites of York, Schroeder and Brazilian, do not have the job of Hospitable.

Within the hierarchy of positions of a shop in the highest of importance is that of Hospitable Workshop.

The choice should fall on a Hospitable Brother dynamic, relieve the moral, without blemish, who knows all the brothers. - Should enjoy the sympathy to the power to meddle in the affairs of each one as if it were a blood relative, a child of the house. His work within the Temple is irrelevant. Any Master may replace it in kind. Rotate the trunk is very easy. Their work, their mission outside the four walls of the Temple is that it's important, very important and requires great care, great dedication, selflessness.

EXPERT

The Jewelry Expert Brother among us, is a dagger. Why Dagger?

This weapon is the emblem of the punishment they deserve perjured and remorse that should shatter her heart. We know that Dirk is an offensive weapon. Masonry but it has another meaning and figures in many ceremonies and between the distinctive emblems of various degrees with philosophical mind mere symbolic significance. Among the Masons it also means that the fighting must stop to that by word and pen, defend with all vigor, Freedom of Thought, Conscience. He is the main attribute of Experts that guide Profane during Initiation and tiling the visitors. Although the dagger is taken as a symbol of treason, for us, is the symbol of strength, of the guard. Hierarchically, the Expert, is the sixth Official Store, the first since the Five Dignity.

Covering

The Jewel of Covering are two crossed swords. On being sworn in Covering the Master Installer says these pa mines: "It reminded you that these indicate that only crossed swords ought to give our entrance into the Temple those who are entitled to take part in our work., Symbolically crossed the anchors in Guard for combat, teaches us to put ourselves in the defense against evil thoughts and moral ordering of our actions.

Armed with the Sword, I covered the pain is on the left as you enter, next door whose care is entrusted to him and must keep secure. For this reason is that in certain powers, it is also called the Temple Guard, representing the bridge between the profane world and the Lodge, only he can open or close the door.

The proof of the great importance of this role, there is in English Freemasonry. There Merchants elect only the Venerable, the Treasurer and the Internal Covering, put them consider such positions of greater responsibility and should therefore earn the vote of all the Brothers of the Lodge. The Venerable is appointing the occupants of all other

FLAG HOLDERS

The Jewel of the office is the first in the National Pavilion. It has no Masonic symbolism. It is an unholy place of practice in the temples, to enable the feeling of each Brother.

And a simple jewelry, which either devoid of interpretation than those made by outsiders, namely the representation of the Fatherland, the highest symbol of a nation. Vibration of the soul of a people, both in peace as in war.

This task was made official in Brazilian Freemasonry only from April 2, 1959.

Standard Bearer

The Jewel of Office is a miniature banner. It has no Masonic symbolism. Only indicates the position of the bearer of it.

Banner is the emblem of a body feed, whether military, religious or philosophical sport, and in the case of Freemasonry, known and used as a continuation of the tradition of the old medieval craft guilds and brotherhoods, which had put its banner the greatest veneration and respect .

Humanity has always needed a symbol. From the earliest times it has used to represent their belief or ideal party or family function or dignity, or college quality, city or country, in short, symbols of various shape and name.

TEACHER OF HARMONY

A Lira is a musical instrument, string, variable in number, like a harp, but in smaller, one of the oldest that we know of.

If we consider the effects of musical sounds during our sessions, preparing the environment, making it more harmonious, more solemn, inspiring and beautiful, we understand that running a musical selection will be vital complement to a good session.

MASTER OF BANQUETS

The Jewel of Office is the cornucopia that has always symbolized abundance, plenty. The fable says he was ripped from her head Aquelous, mythological character, when transformed into a bull, was won by Hercules. Freemasonry is also used as a cup of office of Master Jewel Banquet.

ARCHITECT

The Jewel of the position of Architect is a trowel, which is one of the great Masonic symbols.

The trowel is used to move the mass destined to cement the stones of the building doing so, the Unit. The trowel meet, mix, unify. It is therefore the symbol of Benevolence esc1arecida, Universal Brotherhood and profound tolerance that distinguish the true Mason.

A role that seems of little importance, but which in reality is just as or more important than many others taken as such. Their occupations are not seen during the meeting, or better views but are not assigned since their job is, apart from others in the decoration of the shop, putting everything in its place. The Architect is the sublime duty of caring, and well, all that belongs to the decorations and ornaments of the Temple.

His work is done before starting the session, becoming during the same privileged spectator.
