OUR RITE
|
The standard rite of Praxis is the Modern Rite, which is one of many rites in Freemasonry. The Modern Rite is intimately linked to the birth of Freemasonry in France and was founded in France in 1786. British exiles brought the "Modern" rite to France and this was little by little passed onto the French Rite. Though this hybrid form is no longer known as the French Rite, it sometimes takes that name to distinguish it from the Scottish Rites from which it was initially formed. The
French Rite system is a regime of seven grades or degrees, but lodges
of the Grand Orient of the United States only practice the first
three: Read more at http://www.aboutfreemasons.com/French_Rite and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Rite
