What Do You Know about Ritual? by: Revd Neville Barker Cryer

ritual

This well known and accomplished masonic author takes a look at the ritual and provides an incredibly informative guide to understanding what we all repeat during the various ceremonies. The book explains the meaning behind the ritual and its history, concentrating on the First, Second and Third Degree ceremonies, plus the Charge After Initiation, the Installation Ceremony, as well as the Mark Degree and the Holy Royal Arch.

Those, in particular, who struggle with the Royal Arch, will find the relevant sections invaluable. Such as, why are we called Companions and why do we take seven steps? The author also provides commentary on the Royal Arch Officers, Banners, Ensigns and Implements. This is such a valuable little book, for Masons of all levels. I defy any Brother to say he hadn’t learned something after reading it.
