How should an Entered Apprentice wear his apron?

An Entered Apprentice should wear his apron with the bib turned up. This orientation symbolizes the state of being a learner or a novice, which is a fundamental aspect of the Entered Apprentice degree. The upturned bib serves as a reminder of the initiation into Masonic principles and the commitment to personal development and moral improvement.

The bib in this position not only indicates the individual’s status but also aligns with the tradition and etiquette established within Freemasonry, helping to distinguish the rank and role of the Entered Apprentice among members. It is a clear sign of respect for the craft and the values it embodies, emphasizing the importance of learning and growth in the Masonic journey.
