Strict Observance & Templar Masonry

This emblem features a lion—often a symbol of strength and the 'Lion of the Tribe of Judah'—accompanied by an angel sounding a trumpet. The banner 'Ex A Fraternitate' underscores the fraternal bonds and the spiritual awakening central to the order's internal ritualistic practices.

This engraving displays three distinct emblems central to the esoteric traditions of the Strict Observance. From left to right, the lion with a square, the phoenix, and the pelican in her piety serve as allegorical representations of strength, resurrection, and self-sacrificial devotion, reflecting the moral and spiritual aspirations of the 18th-century Masonic initiate.
