Chronological Order of Degrees

The York Rite of Freemasonry, which many take to include the three degrees of the Blue or Craft Lodge, involves a great deal of its symbolism with the Hiramic Legend and King Solomon's Temple. The degrees are not conferred in the same order in which the historical events they depict occurred. This is a list of the degrees in chronological order – which may help to put them into perspective and demonstrate the necessity of receiving all of them in order to obtain a complete picture.
