reemasonry is one of the world’s oldest secular brotherhoods. Past Fmembers have included kings, presidents, military leaders, writers, and philosophers. Today, there are over 10 million Freemasons around the world. Its origins have been associated with medieval stonemasons, the Knights Templar, and even a secret order known as the Priory of Sion, guardians of the true nature of the Holy Grail. Theories abound about Freemasonry’s older origins—with ancient mystery cults or the construction of the great Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem. Whatever the truth, Freemasonry history is full of drama and mystery.
