History of Royal Arch Masonry: Royal Arch Masonry
is used to denote the first part of the York Rite system of Masonic degrees.
Royal Arch Masons meet as a Chapter , and the Chapter confers four degrees:
Mark Master Mason, Past Master, Most Excellent Master, and Royal Arch Mason.
The Triple Tau is the Grand Emblem of Royal Arch Masonry. A Royal Arch Mason
holds firm to the belief in the Brotherhood of Man, the Fatherhood of God, and
the Immortality of the Human Soul in high regard. Masonry is dedicated to the
ideals of charity, equality, morality, and service to God. In 1873, no fewer
than ten Masonic organizations participated in the ceremony of the laying of
the cornerstone in Rochester's new City Hall. Those involved included
commanderies from Buffalo, Batavia and the Grand Lodge of the State of New York.
History of the Ark of the Covenant: The Ark of the Covenant also known as the
Ark of the Testimony, is a sacred chest described in Book of Exodus as solely
containing the Tablets of Stone on which the Ten Commandments were inscribed.
