The 14th Degree Apron, worn by those who have attained the title of Grand Elected, Perfect and Sublime Mason, represents the culmination of the Lodge of Perfection within the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite (AASR). As the final degree in the first series of the Scottish Rite, this apron reflects the highest moral and spiritual ideals of symbolic Masonry. It is rich in sacred geometry, divine symbolism, and the esoteric wisdom associated with the completion of the spiritual Temple.
