Besides the Great Lights, what other elements are used in OES ritual?

• A. Symbolic tools such as the Square and the Compasses, and regalia
• B. Only the Great Lights are used
• C. The Sacred Book and Seal
• D. Music and singing only

Answer: (B)

In this part of the OES ceremony, the Great Lights are the central symbols, and the focus is on their presence alone. The option chosen communicates that no other ceremonial elements accompany the Great Lights at this moment, so there are no symbolic tools, regalia, sacred texts beyond the lights, or musical components added in this portion. While other items like the Square and Compasses, regalia, or music may appear in different rites or moments, this particular step emphasizes the lights themselves as the sole visual and symbolic focus.
