In the meaningful atmosphere of the Ghika Palace in Bucharest, February 16, 2026 marked an important moment for two ritual bodies of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite: the "D. Bolintineanu No. 5" Lodge of Perfection and the "Armonia CMR No. 55" Lodge of Perfection.

The event was marked by unity and fraternal collaboration, being a first in the common journey of the two entities. The central objective of the meeting was to recognize the moral and intellectual progress of dedicated members, by granting them new degrees of knowledge (Degrees 9 and 10). This stage in their Masonic education represents a renewed commitment to the basic values of society: integrity, justice and civic duty.

The moment of utmost solemnity was represented by the oath-taking by the candidate brothers, a symbolic gesture that resonated deeply in the hearts of all participants. The educational process, carried out according to tradition, was marked by genuine emotion, underlining the indissoluble bond that is created between our members in their common quest for perfection.

This study session was attended, as guest of honor, by the Most Illustrious Brother Daniel Hotăranu, 33°, Grand Secretary General of the Supreme Council, whose presence gave a special symbolic weight to the event.

Through this action, the partner Lodges of Improvement reaffirm their mission to cultivate an environment of continuous learning, where brotherly love and unity become the cornerstones of a sustainable human construction.
