Part 2/6:
Freemasonry, with its rich history spanning over two centuries, claims a membership of approximately five million worldwide. The organization has long been a subject of intrigue, partly due to its clandestine nature and the secrecy surrounding its rituals and practices. This anniversary serves as a reminder of not only the organization's longevity but also its resilience in the face of persecution. In regions where Freemasonry is banned, members often find themselves in perilous situations, risking their very lives for the sake of their beliefs and brotherhood.
