The Triple Tau

 

by ERIC A. PEISLEY (N.S.W., Australia)

       The Triple Tau is one of the most ancient of emblems.  It is translated from the Hebrew and is highly esteemed as “the emblem of all emblems.”  As the Grand Emblem of Royal Arch Masonry, it denotes that the wearer has been the recipient of a sublime but hidden wisdom received only in the Holy Royal Arch Degree.

     Like many other symbols, it is traced to a biblical origin.  It is supposed, in its simplest form, to be the sign and mark referred to by Ezekiel when he commanded the man with the ink-horn to go through the midst of the city of Jerusalem and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
