The aprons have different symbols on it to designate the position of the member in the Temple (meeting room) The "top Guy" is called the Worshipful Master, then there is the Templar., the Tiler, etc,etc.. The Aprons are easy to "read" like rank insignia in the Armed forces....so the are different. They also have a "Dress Apron" for formal occasion,more lux fabric. This site : http://www.masonicformasons.com/Apron.html Shows you the symbols close up and the "title" with it. Mozarts would reflect his position in the Lodge. and his "degree" (numerical designation ,as tohow far you tested and passed the rites) Did you see if there is any art workof him wearing his Apron? Hope this helps. Melody

Kate Pinner In the 18th cent., would all the aprons in a Masonic Lodge be the same? Or would the individuals have different ones? I ask because I'm doing Amadeus next year and the play calls for three of them. There is a portrait of George Washington in an apron and it is different from what is supposed to be his Masononic apron, so he had at least two different ones. Should make all the aprons the same of should they be different? I don't want to cause great offence to any Masons in the audience, but I kind of like the idea of them being different. Any symbols I really shoudn't use? Does anyone know what Mozart's apron really looked like?
