Description

The Three Graces depict Faith, Hope and Charity. The Masonic ladies are reminiscent of Greek goddesses. Faith clasps a Bible in her hands. Charity, who carries a faint smile, has one child on her lap and another standing near with a look of adoration. Hope is leaning against an anchor, the Masonic symbol of stability.
