The Order of the Eastern Star’s principal symbol is the inverted five-pointed star. Each star point represents a different heroine of the Bible and degree of the Order, and each one represents a different virtue: Adah is the first point; its color is blue, and its symbols are the sword and veil. Adah represents obedience and self-sacrifice. Ruth is the second point; its color is yellow, and its symbol is a sheaf of wheat. Ruth represents the ideals of loyalty and friendship. Esther is the third star point; the color is white, and the symbol is a crown and scepter. Esther represents honor and courage. Martha is the fourth point; the color is green, and the emblem is a broken column. Martha represents devotion to the home, as well as a belief in the immortality of the soul. The fifth star point is Electa, named for the eklekte kuria, “the elect lady” of the Apostle John’s Second Epistle; the color is red, and the symbol is a cup and represents the ideals of fervent love.
