Publisher's Synopsis
American Rite of Freemasonry, commonly known as the York Rite, is a book written by William B. Greer. This is a large print edition of the book, which means that the text is easier to read for those with visual impairments or difficulties reading small print. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the York Rite, which is one of the oldest and most respected branches of Freemasonry in the United States. The York Rite consists of three separate bodies: the Royal Arch, the Cryptic Masons, and the Knights Templar. Each of these bodies has its own unique rituals and traditions, which are explored in detail in this book. The author also provides historical context for the York Rite, tracing its origins back to the medieval guilds of stonemasons and examining its evolution over time.
