This letter is one of the most sacred of the Masonic symbols. It should be remembered, that it is the Saxon representative of the Hebrew Yod and the Greek Tau, the initial letter of the Eternal in those languages. This symbol proves that Freemasonry always prosecuted its labours with reference to the grand ideas of Infinity and Eternity. By the letter “G”, which conveyed to the minds of the brethren, at the same time, the idea of God and that of Geometry. Like Jacob’s ladder, it bound heaven to earth, the divine to the human, and the infinite to the finite. Masons are taught to regard the Universe as the grandest of all symbols. In the Lodge room, it is always visible in the East, either painted on the wall or sculptured in wood or metal, and suspended over the Master’s chair.
