he Rites of Circumambulation is the name given to that observance in all the religious ceremonies of antiquity, which consisted in a procession around the altar or some sacred object.  Thus, in Greece, the priests and the people, when engaged in their sacrificial rites, always walked three times around the altar while singing a sacred hymn.  Macrobius tells us that this ceremony has a reference to the motion of the heavenly bodies.  Hence, in making this procession around the altar, great care was taken to move in imitation of the apparent course of the sun.
The Lodge represents the world; the three principal officers represent the sun in his three principal positions: At rising, at meridian, and at setting.  The Circumambulation, therefore, alludes to the apparent course of the solar orb, through these points, around the world.

During the Circumambulation Psalm 133 is read.  The great teaching of this Psalm is brotherly love, that virtue which is the most prominent tenet of the Masonic order.  It is felt that Psalm 133 is intended to represent the exultation of the Priests and Levites returning from the captivity at Babylon and again united in the service of God in the Sanctuary.
Fault has been found with the Rite of Masonry because it perpetuates the error of furnishing the Temple of Solomon with three gates…one at the south, one at the west, and one at the east.  While in truth there was but one gate to the Temple, and that was in the porch at the east end.

... To Spread The Cement Of Brotherly Love And Affection, That Cement Which Unites Us Into One Sacred Band Or Society Of Brothers, Among Whom No Contention Should Ever Exist, But That Noble Emulation Of Who Can Best Work Or Best Agree ...

MASONIC QUOTES BY BROTHERS
Being persuaded that a just application of the principles, on which the Masonic Fraternity is founded, must be promote of private virtue and public prosperity, I shall always be happy to advance the interests of the Society, and to be considered by them as a deserving brother.
