In this paper, the author provides an extensive history of the use of aprons by operative masons and other craftsmen. He also provides references from the Bible about aprons and how significant the apron was to other cultures. The paper has several references to the apron as it appears in our ritual, and concludes with an admonition to Masons to be careful of the public perception of our actions.
