Often described as "the root and marrow of Freemasonry", the Capitular Degrees of Royal Arch Masonry are founded upon the destruction of the first and the building of the second Temple. The lessons and ceremonies offer profound moral and spiritual significance within a historical context as the pinnacle of Ancient Craft Masonry and Masonic Symbolism.
