The Great Lights include which two symbols along with the Bible?

• A. The Level and the Plumb
• B. The Square and the Compasses
• C. The Trowel and the Apron
• D. The Beehive and the Shield

Answer: (B)

In Freemasonry, the Great Lights are the guiding symbols that stand with the Bible to illuminate a Mason’s understanding. The two symbols paired with the Bible are the Square and the Compasses. The Bible provides spiritual guidance, while the Square points to living honestly and squarely with virtue, and the Compasses remind us to keep our passions within due bounds and to act with moderation. Together, they symbolize faith, morality, and self-restraint that every Mason strives to practice. Other symbols like the Level and Plumb or the Trowel and Apron are important in Masonry too, but they aren’t counted among the Great Lights.
