Welcome to the District Grand Lodge of Lebanon’s website

We will provide you with information on Freemasonry in Lebanon while demistifying the myths surrounding it. Scottish Freemasonry’s historic records show Lodges holding meetings in Scotland as far back as 1436 and in Lebanon as early as 1846.

Freemasonry is a Brotherhood of men concerned with Moral & Spiritual values. Dedicated to the ideals of promoting Brotherly Love, Relief (Charity & Care) and Truth.

Every member is expected to profess a belief in God regardless of their religion, and abide by the laws of the Republic of Lebanon. Freemasonry uses allegories and symbolism to teach liberal arts and sciences that form the basis of the ancient traditions. In essence, it inspires Men to become a better version of themselves!

At the formation of the primary grand lodges, recognitions were agreed upon between these so called sister grand lodges to abide to a set of rules and regulations which they find essential to these bodies to be considered Masonic. Those regulations include that Freemasonry is a brotherhood of men, a belief in God is mandatory to join the order, The Holy Bible or Quran must be at all times present in the Lodge.
