The second degree of Fellow Craft symbolizes the methods of developing and progressing in the Craft and, in a sense, the emergence into spiritual manhood and maturity. Therefore, we find symbols of advancement, passage, instruction, and elevation throughout this degree. We find symbolism of taking the next step and a new way of approaching the east. What was considered in the last degree to be our weaker nature has now been squared and elevated. While keeping our fidelity to The Three Great Lights, we deepen our connection with the fraternity and take on new commitments.
