What Is The Holy Grand Royal Arch Chapter?

The Holy Royal Arch Chapter is the fourth of a series of degrees conferred and the seventh degree known as York Rite degrees or what we term the "Red House". The seventh degree is the summit for Ancient Craft Masonry and all brothers of this degree are no longer called brothers, but are now called Companions. This degree gives us a more in depth knowledge of Freemasonry's sacred and cryptic science in an esoteric form and is indescribably much more important than the preceding degrees. It is august and properly classified as sublime.

The Royal Arch degree impress upon our minds a more firm belief in God (The Grand Architect of The Universe). We humbly give respect and veneration to God's holy and sacred name as revealed in this degree. All Royal Arch Chapters of Masons are dedicated to Zerubbabel and the chapter represents the Tabernacle near the ruins of King Solomon's Temple.
