If you are a traveler who plans to visit some sacred places in the whole world, then probably you need to know the Manitoba Legislative Building and its Masonic symbols. Historians and other researchers actually believed that this building has been built with different purposes and interpretations. Some of them concluded that spirituality and government issues were the core reasons; however, almost half of sculptures and figures were related to Babylonian, Christian and Egyptian civilization. Take a look at the following information and formulate your own interpretation.
In 1914, there was an outbreak of the First World War in the location of the building, but fortunately, the staffs have been started to evacuate since 1913. This was the first tragedy that the building has been conquered. Though there was a shortage of materials and funds, the Manitobans still pursued to build and restore the beauty of the building. Luckily, improvements were seen after the end of the war, and ceremonies have been conducted by Sir James Aikins, the Lieutenant-Governor of Manitoba to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the province. The camaraderie of the Manitobans in maintaining the beauty of the building was one of the most significant reasons why it gained the highest recognition at this point of time. Yet rather unappreciated at the time - and even now in 2013 - is that all the Manitoba politicians at the time - except for three - were all practicing masons of the local Masonic lodges.
Various figures such as murals of Jesus Christ and His passion, two bison on both sides of the stair case, the sacred temple of Solomon lamps on the Rotunda, an area for sacrifices and dreams are all considered sacred because of their amazing designs and measurements. Researchers concluded that Jesus Christ paintings were considered as Christian beliefs while the involvement of two bison was then from ancient traditions such as protecting the temples through the magic of bulls. The Manitoba Legislative Rooms were created based on Solomon's Holy Room in the bible. According to Frank Albo, a researcher from the University of Winnipeg, the measurements and details of the both rooms were all equal.
Aside from Christians, Egyptian views are all included to make the building as a sacred place. Two great sphinxes are placed on the roof of the central tower, one of which faces the rising sun while the other positions to follow the setting sun. Both sphinxes have some inscriptions that translate the name of Thutmosis III. In the same area, hieroglyphic references are also included to represent the name of the Sun God Re, an ancient deity who gives everlasting life. These inscriptions were expected on ancient tombs and walls, but not hidden on the MLB roof.
The visitors may need to pass the Grand Staircase first before entering the hall. The path has 20.3 m or 66.6 feet on each side, which represents the number 666. The staircase is composed of 13 steps and veined Carrara Marble, the finest marble in the whole world. The structure used a bison to guard the temple, and also to represent the symbol of the province. The faces of Medusa and Athena are located in the central entrance to symbolize democracy and protection. Other figurines and murals are located inside the building such as the in the areas of The Pool of the Black Star, Lieutenant- Governor Room, the Legislative Room and Rotunda.
