Hiram Abiff, according to Freemasonry, is the Grand Master.

The most important and significant of the legendary symbols of Freemasonry is undoubtedly that which relates to the fate of Hiram Abiff, commonly called by the way of excellence, the "Legend of the third degree."

"This legend has been considered of so much importance, that it has been preserved in the symbolism of every masonic rite."

No matter the modifications or alterations the general system may have undergone...the legend of the Temple Builder was ever left untouched to present itself in all the integrity of its ancient mythical forms."

The ceremonial of the third degree of Master Mason is unquestionably the most important, impressive, and instructive portion of the ritual of Ancient Freemasonry. That part of the rite which is connected with the legend of Hiram Abiff.
