Some more photos from Philadelphia's Masonic Temple


Our tour guide approaching through the room
where ladies waited while their husbands conduct lodge business.
Pictured throughout are men who served as Grand Masters.
Several US notables were among them, including Benjamin Franklin and 15 presidents.
Many of the symbols we saw throughout the Temple were Judeo-Christian, 
but Masons need only believe in some sort of Higher Power. Nevertheless, I didn't see anything that made me think of Buddhist, Islamic, or Hindu faiths.

    Looks like a fascinating tour! I had no idea so many notable figures were Grand Masters. The symbolism is interesting too. Thanks for sharing!
