What does the red point represent?

• A. Pure, hope, light
• B. Hope and immortality
• C. Frequent and zeal
• D. Steadfastness

Answer: (C)

In the Order of the Eastern Star symbolism, the red point on the five-pointed star stands for Charity, expressed as zeal in service to others. Each colored point represents a virtue linked to a biblical heroine; the red point (Electa) urges us to act with enthusiastic, consistent charitable effort. That is why the description focusing on frequent action and zeal best fits what the red point represents. The other colors on the star correspond to the remaining virtues—fidelity, purity/light, and hope/immortality—so they describe other points rather than the red one.
