In the jargon of Freemasonry, a lodge working the three fundamental Masonic degrees of Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft, and Master Mason. Blue is the symbolic colour of these three degrees, while other degrees have their own distinctive colours; the Royal Arch and its associated degrees, for example, have red for their colour. See Freemasonry; Royal Arch.
