List the five heroines whose names are the star points.

• A. Adah, Ruth, Esther, Martha, Electa
• B. Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, Leah, Miriam
• C. Abigail, Esther, Deborah, Ruth, Naomi
• D. Martha, Catherine, Anna, Judith, Leah

Answer: (A)

The five heroines whose names are used for the star points are Adah, Ruth, Esther, Martha, and Electa. Each star point in the Order of the Eastern Star is named for one of these biblical heroines and tied to a virtue the organization honors: Adah for fidelity (and obedience), Ruth for steadfastness, Esther for courage, Martha for service, Electa for charity. This set exactly matches the star-point names, whereas the other lists mix in figures who aren’t the designated star-point heroines.
