Craft Regalia

Craft Regalia refers to the ceremonial clothing and accessories worn by members of the Craft or "Blue Lodge" degrees of Freemasonry. The Craft degrees are the first three degrees of Freemasonry: Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft, and Master Mason. These degrees are considered the foundation of Freemasonry and the regalia worn by members during meetings and ceremonies is designed to distinguish them from members of other branches of Freemasonry.

One of the most recognizable pieces of Craft Regalia is the apron, which is typically made of white lambskin and adorned with a blue border and various symbols that are specific to the degree. The symbols on the apron often include the square and compasses, the letter "G" and the working tools of the mason such as the plumb rule, level, and trowel.

Another important piece of regalia is the collar, which is worn around the neck and adorned with the emblem of the degree. The emblem typically includes a representation of the square and compasses, and other symbols that are specific to the degree.

In addition to the apron and collar, members of the Craft degrees also wear a jewel, which is typically pinned to the lapel of a coat or jacket, and is specific to the individual's rank within the degree. The jewel is usually a pendant that can be of different shapes, with a representation of the square and compasses, and the letter "G".

Overall, Craft Regalia is an important part of the tradition and history of Freemasonry, and is worn by members as a symbol of their commitment to the principles of the Craft degrees.
