EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in the ancient and enigmatic world of Freemasonry, as three criminals carry out the burial of Hiram Abiff. The scene is set in the 1890s, and the photograph offers a rare glimpse into the social and secretive practices of this influential fraternal organization. Hiram Abiff is a central figure in Freemason mythology, believed to have been a master builder who was murdered for refusing to reveal the "secrets" of his craft to his assailants. According to Masonic legend, Hiram was buried in the Temple of Solomon with great ceremony, and his tomb was sealed to protect the sacred knowledge he carried. This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, depicts a group of criminals performing the role of Hiram's pallbearers, burying his body in a wooded area. The image is a stark reminder of the original Masonic fraternity's origins as a guild of stonemasons, and the importance of brotherhood and loyalty within the organization. Despite the criminal nature of these men, they are shown carrying out the solemn rites of the Masonic burial ceremony with reverence and dignity. The photograph offers a fascinating insight into the complex and multifaceted nature of Freemasonry, a society that has long been shrouded in mystery and intrigue. The image also highlights the importance of symbolism and ritual within the organization, with the three criminals representing the three degrees of Freemasonry - Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft, and Master Mason. The burial of Hiram Abiff is a powerful reminder of the journey that each Mason undertakes, and the importance of the brotherhood that binds them together.
