This is usually one of the most commonly asked questions! Freemasonry is one of the oldest secular male fraternities in existence. It concerns itself with personal improvement as well as to provide aid and relief to those in distress and need, whether they are Masons or not. For example, in the past 12 months, Hiram Lodge alone donated money to a local Children’s Cancer charity, paid for work to be done at a Children’s Home in Dobrich and donated money to the Bulgarian Red Cross following the devastating floods in the town of Bicer. The principles of Freemasonry are Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth.
