• ↵i The word Delta is used to name the Triangle of the Eye of Providence. It is the third letter of the Greek alphabet and so it is closely linked with the number 3 (the number of the Holy Trinity).

• ↵ii The first Masonic lodges were run by the “Master Builders” of the Cathedrals in Europe. Most of their members were hands-on architects, stone cutters and the like. They were called “Operative” because Masons from that period actually worked “physically” on the stones. Later on in the late 1600 the lodges incorporated people from the upper class and nobilities, as well who did not perform the physical labour as the “operatives” but focused only on philosophy, symbolism and rituals. These new lodges of modern freemasonry are called “Speculative Lodges”.
