It's Friday the 13th! Many have claimed the number 13 has some Masonic significance, but this has never really gone beyond conjecture.

One of the more famous examples, taken from the website of the Grand Lodge of British Columbia & Yukon AF&AM, comes from "Bro. James B. Walker, 32°." His article first appeared in the Masonic magazine "The New Age" and cited all of the instances of the number 13 on the United States one dollar bill, claiming some Masonic influence. He writes:

"Masonic Symbols In a $1 Bill
13 leaves in the olive branches
13 bars and stripes in the shield
13 feathers in the tail
13 arrows
13 letters in the "E Pluribus Unum" on the ribbon
13 stars in the green crest above
32 long feathers representing the 32° in Masonry
13 granite stones in the Pyramid with the Masonic "All-seeing Eye" completing it
13 letters in Annuit Coeptis, "God has prospered."

Nothing else is really known about this Brother, or why he thought the number 13 was some how indicative of Masonic practice.

Good luck out there!
