The Pillars

At his initiation, the candidate was introduced to the left pillar which stood at the porch-way, or entrance, to King Solomon’s Temple, which was named Boaz. In this degree, he is informed of the right pillar, Jachin. These two pillars will be seen in many pictures and symbols related to Freemasonry. Many Lodges display a tracing board showing them. Many Lodges also have replicas of these two pillars standing in the Lodge. Much importance is given to these pillars in the ritual ceremonies, but very little, regarding their import, is explained.

In the tracing board lecture in the first degree, the initiate is told of three pillars that support Freemasonry: Wisdom, Strength and Beauty. Later, we will see a correspondence between these three pillars and the pillars of the Temple. As we deal with the symbolism of the two pillars of the Temple, we will discover that there is actually a third pillar between them. This third pillar represents you, and this will be explained as we work through the meaning of them.

Pillars have always been a prominent feature of all great systems of religion, and of initiation into the great mysteries. The entrances of the great cathedrals are normally two great towers which represent two great pillars.
