History of How Free Masonry started:
It started in medieval Europe as guilt for stonemasons, it was like a punishment but it lived on as a social organization. In 1738 the pope of the churches was given a degree against freemasonry and It still applies today. It flourished in Europe for many decades, With the decline of cathedral buildings, some lodges of operative (working) masons began to accept honorary members to bolster their declining membership. A few of these lodges developed modern symbolic or speculative Freemasonry, particularly in the 17th and 18th centuries, and adopted the rites and trappings of ancient religious orders and chivalric brotherhoods.
In most lodges in most countries, Freemasons are divided into three major degrees—
entered apprentice, fellow of the craft, and master mason.
In many lodges there are numerous degrees—sometimes as many as a thousand—superimposed on the three major divisions; these organizational features are not uniform from country to country.
