- This is a narrated tour of the Masonic Temple and Library and Museum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Masonic Temple Tours are at One North Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107 or call (215) 988-1917 for more information.
Correction: 07:52 The pedestal is flanked by griffins, not sphinxes.
Now on my list of places I must visit
The Masons at this Grand Lodge were very friendly and professional. If your in Philadelphia I would highly recommend this tour!
what are Egyptian Gods doing here,?
That was very well done. The speaker was clear and easy to understand.
To really appreciate it you have to see this building in person it is absolutely beautiful, Prince Hall Grand Lodge is about 40 blocks up Broad St. We've traveled down for visitation to the Pennsylvania Grand Lodge and we're welcome with open arms so all the naysayers about division between Prince Hall and right worshipful Grand Lodge stop it
KILL ALL FREEMASONS as God is my witness, all freemason members will be slaughtered by those of us who never swore an oath above all other oaths. Make no mistake we will kill you all before you achieve your goal of killing 7.5 billion of us, as you put in stone on your Georgia Guidestones. Believe me I am #9 with a mandate to kill as many freemasons as I can, and there are many like me all over the world. I am hiding the truth in plain sight, know what I mean? Kill you with kindness.
@@supermagneticman I promise you it won't be that easy and I don't mind sending you to meet Jesus for threatening me and mind, you'll be treated just like the neck kneelers, I'm in West Philly, 59th and Race, PLEASE try me.
Absolutely spectacular - thank you for posting this.

so beautiful and so much attention to detail... simply Amazing
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much, we agree!
Wow what a beautiful Temple
Absolutely stunning.
Incredibly beautiful
underappreciated gem, should be any on tourist's tour of philly.
This is eerily similar to the LDS temple in SLC. Compare photos and you'll see what I mean. 😊
Both have gray granite exteriors and windows were narrow and round topped. Much of the inside of one, is as lavish as the other.
Where has all this beauty and craftsmanship gone man......every new building is glass and steel. I live in toronto and every new thing that gets built is ugly.
Agreed. I hope that architects/engineers begin to start finding ways to revive the classical styles but still manage to involve modern technology throughout the building's dna.
Sorry but you and your brothers didnt build the lodge, you just claimed it for yourself and re-occupied it.......the building has been there for a very, very long time!
This link will take you take information on the history: pamasonictemple.org/history-of-the-masonic-temple/
I am just awestruck. I think this may even look better than the House of the Temple in DC.
When are tours given and can the public tour all the rooms? Currently knocking on doors. 😁
Amazing
AMAZING
That rug at 10:45 really ties the room together.
Right you are Dude!
Amazingly beautiful. Living history.
Archectural and aesthetic beauty of the highest order.
If I were 20 years younger I'd become a Mason in a heartbeat .
Never to late to join
@@ervingjohnson409 If I were to join I would want to study so I could advance through the degrees and reach the goal of becoming a Master Mason.. My time is short at my age.
It’s so beautiful. I ‘ ve been to Philadelphia like 3 times and I never saw that wonderful Construction .
I'm told my family Crest is on the wall there. One day I'd love the opportunity to see it.
What the heck? No shots of the murals painted on the ceiling of the Ben Franklin room???
God bless the grand lodge and god bless the grand master of the freemason and long live the freemasonry forever
Born & Raised in Philadelphia and had the privilege of attending high school right up the street from this building at Roman Catholic. Also, worked for the FDA in the Wells Fargo building on South Broad right next to City Hall. I’ve always had so much intrigue in the Brotherhood and would love to come visit and learn more about the organization. What would be the best approach to potentially joining and visiting this lodge in particular
Please follow this link: pagrandlodge.org/join/
you have no idea the mistake you would be making; Satanic at its core
I attend lodge in the Ionic hall here. I am always finding new and beautiful things thru out all of the grand lodge. A few brethren in my lodge have worked here for years and they are always pointing out things and telling amazing stories about the building.I seriously recommend checking this building out even if your not in the fraternity
Nicholas Granese you only need to ask, send me a friend request on FB. we can chat about it.
Garry Camden I'd love to attend one of your lodge meetings in the temple or York Rite meetings. Is there a dress code for either one ? I'm from NC so we tend to go Buisness casual ( polo shirts and khakis ) but I usually wear coat and tie. I'd definitely love to see some PA degree work , I've heard it's quite different than most of the states ;) Fraternally, Seth Gray : Junior Deacon and Certified Lecturer Cape Hatteras Lodge #698
Kenneth Gray dress shirt and dress pants/khakis with a tie.
i have also heard those tales about PA degree work. A brother from Chicago came last year just to see our lodge in particular.
Please feel free to come up anytime
I've had many dreams recently driving me to this video by curiosity. Questions. Why the different themed rooms? A red cup with white dots.... Honey and the feeling of being shocked! Also why do Masonic structures and events often have the orion and pliedes so commonly incorporated into the design? often within the design of a womans body and a blue temple at the point of the pineal gland that is not limited from access to anyone who finds it? I follow my dreams and end up in the strange places often with masonry involved. JAWUJAWUJAWU?
not sure what your dreams mean, as for the different themed rooms, we take symbols and beliefs from all cultures and incorporate them into room designs. not one culture or people is above another we are all created equally. Are you from the Philadelphia area? if so go check out the temple....
This makes my lodge look like dog house
John Doe can't compare gl with just some lodges
Jimmy McLamb 🤣 lol
King Khan What does it mean in Speculative Masonry?
King Khan Exactly my brother. Many run down lodges produce exceptional Masons. The positive energy is something I feel exists in well governed lodges. I wish you the best in your travels!
My wife is marveled by the architecture and splendor of many of the old lodges. We like to see lodges in our travels and she compares them with my own lodge, I have to remind her that although they are beautiful they are symbols of what men can do together and each lodge is representative of what it’s brethren have unison, but that the building blocks, the tiles and every piece of glass or furniture are representative of an individual, rough at the outset but straightened or molded polished for its more noble purpose of beautifying the structure, each is man and together it’s mankind’s beauty as a tribute to the Grand Architect of the Universe. Our lodges may be humble in structure and beauty but so are the men who built and dwell in them, at work creating a better world for our future generations.
C' EST MAGNIFIQUE 🙏🤝🙏
Very enlightening indeed brother
Much appreciated
What an exquisite temple! Fraternal greetings from South Africa. Lurgan 767 I.C.
I bet there’s no construction photos , they found it they didn’t construct it
Thank you for your interest! The Masonic Temple was constructed in 1873. For more information of the history you can click on this link: pamasonictemple.org/temple/

Incredible building.
Hello, is anyone there?
Hello!
@@MasonicVillages Hello,
I wrote a message to your site, but I did not receive a reply. How can I reach you?

Very beautiful.
Seems @ 7:52, the pedestal is flanked by Griffin’s, not Sphinx’s.
Thank you for letting us know. You are correct! We added a correction in the video description.
I noticed that people who criticize Freemasonry, in fact, do not even know anything about it. If you ask such a person why he thinks so, in most cases he will refer to arguments of unknown origin or people. People are full of prejudices and stereotypes. If it seems to you that something is bad, it does not mean that it is.
Taken from a masonic newsletter, February 1984 I happened to find:
Quote: the Christian faith alone encompasses more sects and off shoots than a California freeway. But Freemasonry takes us away from the narrow and restricted visions of this fragmented environment in which we live...It helps us, by reflection and contemplation, to stand back and view our world as a whole. We are taught to look beyond the narrow limits of particular institutions the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man may sound trite, but it is fundamental to our concepts and philosophies. We teach, and hopefully, practice Universality - in our concepts, in our actions, and in our outlooks. The Universe is the temple of the deity whom we serve...Our deity is undefined...
Masons do not believe in Christ. Just ask one or two...and why they have a bible in the middle with the compass and the square???
There is only one way to the Father in heaven and that is through our mediator Christ. No other way, we are the temple not a building or the universe...Masons have some strange rituals, like being blind folded, sleeping in a coffin...
Most conspiracy theories surrounding Freemasonry originate with one man: Leo Taxil. Long story short: one theory is he got booted out of the fraternity for being a con-man, and came up with a bunch of BS as a way to stick it to Freemasonry. The other theory is that he got booted out for being a con-man (noticing a trend?) and played the jokester role and came up with a bunch of BS to prove his belief that people are dumb and will believe anything.
@@marneycohen9165 It is unwise to speak on that which you don't know or understand.
@@soular_wisdom The quote below is from an old book on masonic teachings someone posted dated 1892, Ancient Mystic:
"It should be borne in mind that in modern Freemasonry, in the Ancient Mysteries, and in all the great Religions, there was always an Exoteric portion given out to the world, to the uninitiated, and an Esoteric portion reserved for the Initiate, and revealed (only) in the degrees, according as the candidate demonstrated his fitness to receive, conceal, and rightly use the knowledge so imparted." Universal Brotherhood, rituals and secrets. Secret crypts of libraries belonging to the Occult Fraternities…The Rosicrucian Fraternity keeping secret doctrine and mystic masonry…they believe there is not one Christ for the whole world but a potential Christ in every man…
Therefore they do not believe Christ so why would Christians join such an occult organization not knowing this? Masons do not teach salvation by faith.
Just the thought of how a building this elaborate can be maintained is dumbfounding in itself.
Amazing. I would love to visit!
Dan, please call this phone number for tour hours (215) 988-1917.
How would i find out if i had any family who were masons. Like possibly my grandfather who is passed
For Research/Genealogy Requests send an email to: GIR@pagrandlodge.org

City of brotherly love
It's sad that lot of people thinks freemasons are evil devil worshippers just because they have secrets. I get initiated this month and looking forward to be a enter prentice and work my way up to master mason.
Lol
My lodge is special but not quite like this. At least the fellowship can’t be beat.
Glorious and magnificent building for a glorious and magnificent society ❤️♥️❤️

Why aren't the floors checkered in the lodge rooms?
I will be initiated into the fraternity later this month. I thought all floors had to be checkered. 🤣 guess I'll find out on the 3rd degree.
Francisco Gabriel Cordoves-Quijano You will find out sooner than you think. Good luck!
I was surprised to see the floors as well. But that red room nights Templar room gave me the chills. Or rather made me sick to my stomach.
I would like to join masonic but dont know how

@@JJsWithJesus yeah I’m gonna go be a furrie instead
apparently you don't do much research
why the seal of Solomon or so called ghew star everywhere?
The “Solomon Seal” is frequently depicted as a decorative element since the stories used as allegorical references in the first three Masonic degrees (and even a few of the others) are based on the construction of King Solomon’s Temple.
@@MasonicVillages Who made this the seal of Solomon? Where does this come from?

Hayden Pastor It sounds meaningful to him. I hope you find answers to all of your questions.
