Ihear Masons refer to an “apron”. What is that?
“During the ceremonies of his initiation,each Mason is presented with a white apron. It is,to him, an emblem of innocence and the badge of a Mason. It has, in all ages, been cherished by the rich, the poor, thehigh and the low. It is his for life. He will never receive anotherone and has, therefore, been cautioned to take it home and instructed in its care. While perfectly satisfactory for him to do so if he desires, he need not bring it to Lodge, as linen aprons are provided for his use meetings.” (From a pamphlet, “To theLady and Family of a Mason”) The above applies to the US. In manyother countries, the Master Mason owns his regalia and brings it to the Lodge.
