What is Masonic Apron?

A Masonic apron is a symbolic garment worn by Freemasons during lodge meetings and ceremonial events. It is one of the most significant and recognizable symbols in Freemasonry, representing purity, morality, and the labor of building one’s character. Inspired by the aprons of ancient stonemasons, it serves as a reminder of the values and lessons taught within the fraternity.
Masonic aprons come in various designs and styles, often featuring intricate embroidery, symbolic motifs, and different colors to denote rank, office, or degree. For instance, Blue Lodge aprons are typically simpler in design, while Past Master and Grand Lodge aprons are more ornate, reflecting higher degrees and responsibilities within Freemasonry.
