Visiting the Quebec Masonic Lodge

It’s rare that a non freemason can visit one, but for my other blog Quebec Urbain, I was able to visit a Masonic Lodge. Article (in French) on Quebec Urbain, and all the photos on my stock site.

Quebec Masonic Lodge
Freemason logo is pictured outside of the Loge Albion / St.John’s Masonic Lodge in Quebec City June 23, 2010. Freemasonry is a fraternal organisation that arose from obscure origins in the late 16th to early 17th century.


A British flag is pictured above a tablet perpetuating the memory of local freemason died during the first World War.


A Volume of the Sacred Law, represented here as the Holy Bible, is pictured in the ritual room
