The Order of the Eastern Star was designed to serve among women the same purpose as that of Free Masonry among men, and to
provide the Free Masons with cooperation of women kindred without accepting them into the Lodge. The principles are personified
by five stories of women taken from the Bible. They are fidelity, obedience, loyalty, truth and heroic endurance personified
by Adah, Ruth, Esther, Martha and Electa.
The Order of the Eastern Star is a social order comprised of persons with
spiritual values but it is not a religion. Its appeal rests in the true beauty of the refreshing and character-building lessons
that are so sincerely portrayed in its ritualistic work. A deep fraternal bond exists between its members. It is the wholesome
relationship of sisterly and brotherly love brought about through high principals exemplified in our lives which make us near
and dear to each other.
The purpose of this site is twofold. One, we hope to be able to help those who have an interest
in the Order of the Eastern Star find out more about it and how to join.
