What Does it mean to be a STAR?
The five Points of this star to each Sister doth reveal FIDELITY, PATIENCE, PURITY, FAITH, and ZEAL. Each Sister of the oder 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 Rite. She is loyal to her chapter, whatever her degree, she is matron of herself. In the chapter life she wears the unstained white silken robes of purity and innocence. From her covenant of adoption she travels ever eastward, towrd 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.
