The Statue of Liberty has strong Masonic ties: its sculptor, Bartholdi, and engineer, Gustave Eiffel, were Freemasons, and the French Freemasons gifted it to American Masons, with the cornerstone laid in a Masonic ceremony by NY Grand Master William A. Brodie in 1884, symbolizing fraternity and liberty, though its primary intent was to celebrate abolition and Franco-American friendship, notes the National Park Service and the Scottish Rite, NMJ.
Key Masonic Connections:
The Gift: The statue was a gift from French Freemasons (specifically from the Grand Orient Lodge) to their American counterparts, fostering brotherhood between the lodges, say biblicaljesus.org and the Scottish Rite, NMJ.
Design & Construction: Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi, the sculptor, and Gustave Eiffel, who designed the internal framework, were both Freemasons, notes the Scottish Rite, NMJ and biblicaljesus.org.
Cornerstone Ceremony: The pedestal's cornerstone was laid with Masonic rites by William A. Brodie, the Grand Master of Masons in New York, on August 5, 1884, say the Grand Lodge of New York (Facebook), Wikimedia Commons, and the Scottish Rite, NMJ.
Symbolism: While some view it as occult, Masons see symbols like the broken chains at her feet representing freedom and emancipation (especially from slavery), fitting Masonic ideals, note the Scottish Rite, NMJ and the American Historical Association.
Broader Context:
Origin: The idea came from French abolitionist Édouard de Laboulaye in 1865 to honor American independence and friendship, says the National Park Service.
Masonic Ideals: Freemasonry promotes liberty, enlightenment, and universal brotherhood, aligning with the statue's message, even as some theories link it to deeper, older mysteries, note the Scottish Rite, NMJ and biblicaljesus.org.
