Symbolism of the Royal Arch Chapter Jewel
This beautifully engraved Royal Arch Chapter jewel is rich in traditional Masonic symbolism, with each element representing an important lesson and stage of the Royal Arch journey.
The All-Seeing Eye
Positioned at the top of the jewel, the All-Seeing Eye represents the constant presence of the Supreme Being. It reminds members that their thoughts and actions are always observed and should be guided by truth, integrity and virtue.
The Motto – Amor, Honor et Justitia
Translated from Latin as "Love, Honour and Justice," this timeless motto reflects the moral principles that every Companion is encouraged to uphold throughout life.
The Open Volume of Sacred Law
The open book represents the Volume of Sacred Law, the foundation upon which Freemasonry is built. It symbolises divine guidance, wisdom and the importance of living according to moral principles.
Square and Compasses
Resting above the open book, the Square and Compasses are the best-known symbols in Freemasonry.
- The Square represents honesty, fairness and moral conduct.
- The Compasses symbolise self-control and keeping our passions within due bounds.
Together they remind every Mason to live an upright and balanced life.
The Two Pillars
The two large pillars represent Jachin and Boaz, the famous pillars that stood at the entrance to King Solomon's Temple. They symbolise strength, stability and the entrance into greater knowledge.
The Three Burning Candles
The three candles represent the Light of Masonry and are often associated with wisdom, knowledge and divine illumination. They remind Companions to continually seek truth and understanding.
The Pedestal or Obelisk
The tall pillar on the right symbolises permanence, endurance and the preservation of sacred knowledge throughout history.
The Dagger or Sword
The ceremonial blade represents justice, protection and the defence of truth. It serves as a reminder that honour should always be upheld.
The Scrolls
The unfurled scrolls represent ancient wisdom, sacred records and the preservation of important teachings handed down through generations.
Temple Flooring
The stepped stonework at the base represents the foundation of King Solomon's Temple and symbolises the solid moral foundations upon which Freemasonry is built.
The Temple Buildings
The buildings shown in the background reference the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, reminding Companions of the historical setting of Royal Arch Masonry and the rebuilding of the Temple.
