The Hiramic Legend: A Tale of Betrayal and Sacrifice

At the core of Freemasonry lies the story of Hiram Abiff, a legendary master architect tasked with overseeing the construction of King Solomon's Temple. The Hiramic Legend unfolds as a gripping tale of betrayal, sacrifice, and moral triumph.

As Hiram completed the temple, three wicked fellow craftsmen, envious of his skills, sought to extort the secrets of the Master Mason's Degree from him. When Hiram refused, they brutally murdered him, dismembering his body and concealing it.

But Hiram's spirit lived on. Through the ingenuity of King Solomon and his trusted ally Hiram King of Tyre, his body was discovered and given a proper burial. From this tragedy, the legend of Grand Master Hiram became a cornerstone of Masonic tradition, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil and the pursuit of knowledge and enlightenment.
