The Legend of the Craft - Mystery of the Widow's Son

The Legend of the Craft

- Mystery of the Widow's Son




https://www.youtube.com/user/michaelr...
Hiram Abiff was busy working his Craft, when he suddenly found himself transported
into the center of the Earth by Tubal-Cain, there to taste of the Tree of Knowledge. . .

Who was the original 'Widow's Son'? That all depends on who you ask.

This documentary explores a particular thread of Masonic history,
namely the origin of the third degree, and the 'lineage' of the Craft.

Sourced from some of the earliest manuscripts, and exploring certain facts
not often brought to light, we shall see why the Mark of Tubal-Cain is an indelible stamp of heritage
to the thoughtful Mason.
