What STANDS out to you? 🐂👤🦁🦅

We'd like to draw your attention to those items resting on the stands: the Banners & Ensigns.

They are far more than just decoration. The detailed artwork, the specific orientation, and the precise location of each has a deep meaning behind it.

Whether you are a new Companion or an experienced one who just hasn't had the time to investigate yet, we can help you decode the symbolism, with the Royal Arch section of the Solomon Academy Diploma: https://solomon.ugle.org.uk/mod/scorm/view.php?id=3968

What stands out to YOU in your Lodges and Chapters? Is there a piece of furniture, a symbol, or even a tradition you've always wanted to know more about?

Is it too early? Oops 🎄🎅🤶
Come on down and book in and spread some festive cheer 😁😁😁
