The Mark Mason Degree

The Mark Degree is open to all Master Masons and is known for its informal atmosphere and a strong sense of camaraderie among members. The ceremony of admission is called “advancement” and takes place after the Fellow Craft degree. The degree is based on teachings from Holy Writ and emphasizes the value of education and hard work. The symbol of the degree is a keystone with mystical letters inscribed on it, which are explained during the ceremony. The Mark Degree offers an opportunity for members to gain experience in Freemasonry and make their mark without holding a leadership position in the Craft.
