WELCOME
Welcome to the Site of the Supreme Council 33º for Greece AASR. We are happy to have you here as an honored guest. Feel yourself at home.
Historical Note
The Supreme Council 33° of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite (AASR) for Greece was officially founded in 1872 under the leadership of Prince Dimitrios Rodokanakis, who received canonical authorization from the Supreme Council of Scotland.
With this establishment, the AASR was duly instituted in the Greek territory as the lawful governing body of the higher degrees of the Scottish Rite, opening a new chapter in the history of Freemasonry in Greece.
Since its inception and without interruption, there has been one and only one Supreme Council 33° in Greece, which enjoys full recognition from the Mother Supreme Council of the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States of America – the oldest and preeminent authority of the AASR worldwide.
After a long period of misunderstandings and discord, in February 2024, a definitive and unanimous resolution was achieved among all parties.
All disputes ceased, and it was formally acknowledged by all that Emmanouil Gerakios 33° is the sole legitimate Sovereign Grand Commander of the AASR in Greece, the institutional representative and guarantor of its historical continuity.
With unwavering commitment to legality, history, and the charitable and philosophical ideals of the Rite, the Supreme Council continues its mission: to spread the light of truth, wisdom, and virtue, honoring the vision of its founder, Prince Rodokanakis, and the generations of Brethren who have upheld its values for more than a century and a half.
From the Great Constitutions of 1786
