For me, I like all of my degrees for different reasons
My EA degree, I had a Bro. Virginia and one from Maryland at my degree. On relieving light, having those two there standing next to me made my feel like I was a part of something bigger than myself.
FC...the lecture! I loved it so much that it was the first thing I learned once I was raised in Feb 2015
MM...well...
I have an Uncle from Ohio who I hadn't seen in 8 years...his dad ( my moms step dad ) was the reason I wanted to become a mason. Unfortunately my Grandfather died of cancer before he could see me petition. But, on his death bed, he told my uncle he wanted me to have his ring,
So, on the day I was raised,
My uncle from VA was the third ruffian
My step dad ( PDDGM in NC, and my catechism coach) put on the first and second sections along with my EA and FC degrees
And my Uncle from Ohio raised me
After I was raised , he slipped my grandfathers ring on my finger.
I go home after the degree, and lo and behold, I have some " pennies from Heaven " lying on the floor
A very moving day I'd say
