Respect for freedom of conscience, mutual understanding and solidarity, but also mutual tolerance are fundamental conditions of Masonic work.

Freemasonry does not set any limits on the search for truth and guarantees complete freedom of thought in every intellectual field. Thus, it does not impose any dogma, placing work above every school of philosophy, every religion and every political position, while unwaveringly following the Laws of the Greek State.

The main means of teaching are Symbols and the study of them step by step. Initiates are called upon to find inner meaning, hidden in the outer form of Symbols. In studying the symbols, they unconsciously end up studying themselves. As a result, they succeed in cultivating thought and discovering a new order of truth. Freemasonry is for all thinking people, regardless of beliefs and educational level.

Freemasons operate “behind closed doors”, with absolute secrecy being maintained with regard to what they do and the identity of the members engaging in any Masonic work.

Freemasonry ignores borders and national differences, which has led to its continued growth among free-thinking peoples and regimes. For Freemasons, it is a duty and an honour to work for the good of society and not only for themselves.

The principles of Freemasonry are Liberty, Equality and Fraternity.
