The Four Cardinal Virtues: Justice

One of a series of panels painted by Brother Ryan Flynn which was commissioned for a Lodge in New Jersey, Justice depicts one of the Four Cardinal virtues which is prevalent in Masonic Ritual.

Fortitude is depicted wearing the symbolic color of balance, green. She holds the scales of justice over her head featuring an all-seeing eye in the center, symbolizing that Justice is above all else. In her other hand, she holds a double-edged sword, with a hilt featuring the Masonic Level, symbolizing that justice can swing both ways.
