Grand Masonic Word - As the final and highest honor in freemasonry, the master mason degree symbolizes man’s maturity through increased knowledge and wisdom. A grand master is a title of honour as well as an office in freemasonry, given to a freemason elected to oversee a masonic jurisdiction, derived from the office of grand masters in chivalric orders. Used in masonry in terms such as worshipful master (the head of a lodge), or most worshipful grand master (the head of a grand lodge). It is the culmination of all he has learned through the first degrees, including how to prepare for spiritual enlightenment through the craft’s teachings. He presides over a grand lodge and has certain rights in the constituent lodges that form his jurisdiction. Masons who have served their lodge as the worshipful master are given, when they retire to the rank of past master, the honorific worshipful brother as a form of address.
