Cordelier - White and Maroon Red

The Cordelier in Freemasonry is a ceremonial rope crafted from premium-quality material and finished with tassels at each end, which are designed to loop back on themselves to prevent unravelling. It serves as a distinctive piece of Masonic regalia, especially within the Order of Holy Wisdom and amongst Knight Templar Priests, with its colours—white, red, or yellow—signifying different roles or degrees within the order. Standardly measuring about 2 meters in length, the Cordelier is meant to be worn around the waist or draped over ritual garments, with each colour chosen for its symbolic meaning, such as white representing purity or general symbolism, and red or yellow denoting specific offices.
