Bonedigger Pillar of the Community United States 1267 Posts	Posted 12/24/2008 12:48 pm Team, I received this today along with a Christmas Card from someone I've never met, but yet is apparently somewhat like me. A very kind/simple gesture, which I'll gladly show you a picture of but perhaps still leaves one wondering the meaning of the statement. Take Care Ben Report this Post to the Staff

Bonedigger Pillar of the Community United States 1267 Posts	Posted 12/24/2008 1:45 pm Chuckle, if you look closely that 1974 (obv) is struck somewhat differently, than most in more ways than one... Report this Post to the Staff
Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 12/24/2008 2:40 pm Bonedigger- So that's why there is a Masonic square and compass on my 1974 penny. I wonder if mine was done by the same guy who sent you these. Report this Post to the Staff

ElleKitty Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 12/28/2008 07:46 am I myself, being female, cannot explain in totality the meaning of the statement on the card. However, I can tell you that the Freemason brotherhood is extremely steeped in symbols. I think I am correct in saying that "the first night you were a Mason" means the night the Mason was 'raised' from apprentice to full Master Mason. They go through a very detailed ritual including being 'killed' and 'raised' from death. This coin tells me that there is some part of the ceremony where the Master is robbed, and therefore pennyless. The initiation is based on happenings from the Bible. I have no idea if my ramblings have helped or not. Hopefully they did, though! Report this Post to the Staff
Bonedigger Pillar of the Community United States 1267 Posts	Posted 12/28/2008 10:04 am Pretty Good Elle, You were close on the penniless part. Remember, one must first have money to be robbed of it, and there is no thievery involved. Take Care Ben Report this Post to the Staff
