Some Frequently Asked FUN Questions
What significance does the emblem play?
Just like the Mercedes-Benz is known for it's 3-pointed star symbol, the Shriners fraternity is known for its Crescent, or "Jewel of the Order". Carrying on the Near East theme, the emblem is composed of the claws of a tiger, united in the middle with the head of the sphinx. One the back of the emblem are a pyramid, urn, and star. Additionally, the emblem bears the motto "Robur et Furor", which means "Strength and Fury".
Just as Mercedes' star represents something - domination of land, sea, and air... So does the Shriners emblem. The scimitar stands for the backbone of the fraternity - its members. The two claws are for the Shriners fraternity and its philanthropy, the Shriners Children's™. The sphinx is representative of the governing body of the Shriners, while the star hanging beneath the thousands of children helped by the philanthropy every year.
