Welcome to the website of the Grand Court Of The Masonic Order Of Athelstan In India.
The Order is based on the historic records of the life and the legend of King Athelstan. The focus of the Order is to show how this early reference to the importance of Masonry in English history was significant for the development of speculative Freemasonry.
The Masonic Order of Athelstan portrays the story of a Master Mason being summoned to York in 926 AD to receive the Ancient Charges. Throughout its ceremony the ritual contains a great deal of symbolism that is still seen in some Lodges today and a great deal that is not currently worked.
The aim of the Masonic Order of Athelstan is to encourage and prompt its members into further study and research. Candidates are carefully chosen with regard to their interest in Masonic history and are said to be ‘Instructed’ into the Order.
Membership of our Order is strictly invitational, and members are expected to take a wide and committed interest in all aspects of freemasonry, there are therefore mandatory requirements for each member to have current, active and ongoing membership of Craft, Royal Arch Chapter and Mark Masonry.
