Freemasonry is a fraternal movement whose members are joined together in an association based on brotherly love, relief, and truth. These are the principal tenets of Freemasonry.
Derived from these tenets are the virtues of faith, hope and charity. All of these are supported on the three great pillars of Masonry, those being, wisdom, strength, and beauty
