The Shriners Emblem

The emblem on the front of the fez, the crescent and scimitar, is an important part of the fraternity’s theme, and is representative of the characteristics embodied by the Shriners. 
The scimitar stands for the backbone of the fraternity, its members. 
The two claws are for the Shriners fraternity and its philanthropy. 
The sphinx stands for the governing body of the Shriners. 
The five-pointed star represents the thousands of children helped by the philanthropy each year. 
The emblem also bears the phrase “Robur et Furor,” which means “Strength and Fury.”
