The Five Points of this Star to each Sister doth reveal
FIDELITY, PATIENCE, PURITY, FAITH, and ZEAL. Each Sister of the order shall reflect the rays of Light, that Joy and Truth shall beam sincere from the darkness of the night. An Eastern Star is a woman and sister whose trust is in God. She meets all in the strictest sense of fidelity. She is faithful to all her obligations. Truth is her compass, she refrains from speaking evil of her sisters. She has a true grip on all that is right. She is loyal to her chapter, whatever her degree, she is matron of herself. In the chapter life she wears unstained the white silken robes of purity and innocence. From her covenant of adoption she travels ever eastward, towards the light of wisdom, until she receives the final cabalistic word, that divine password, that admits her into the ineffable presence to the eternal Supreme Grand Patron of the Universe. |
The Order of the Eastern StarThe Order of the Eastern Star is the largest fraternal organization in the world to which both men and women belong. We are not a religious group but encourage loyalty to one's own beliefs, family, country and community
