 Masonic quotes by Brothers

CATHEDRAL BUILDING

"The pre-eminence which cathedral building attained in Europe from about 1100 to 1500 A.D. is one of the most pertinent facts in history.

During the Crusades, and for a period which lasted until the Reformation, there was in Europe a highly developed religious zeal which found its expression in the building of structures which are the wonder and admiration of mankind. Some have ascribed the principal ecclesiastical structures to the fraternity of Freemasons, depositaries of a concealed and traditionary science.

There is probably some ground for this opinion' and the earlier archives of that mysterious association, if they existed, might illustrate the progress of Gothic architecture, and perhaps reveal its origin. 1997-07-01
