What is Ruth's badge?

• A. Crown and Scepter United Within the Triangle
• B. Sheaves of Barley Within the Triangle
• C. Sword and Veil Within the Triangle
• D. Cup Within The Triangle

Answer: (D)

In the Order of the Eastern Star, each heroine wears a symbol placed inside the triangle to represent a particular virtue she embodies. Ruth’s badge is the Cup within the Triangle. The Cup stands for hospitality, generosity, and loyalty—reflecting Ruth’s act of caring for Naomi and sharing her blessings, as well as the broader idea of helping those in need. The other heroines have different emblems—Adah is shown with a Sword and Veil, Esther with a Crown and Scepter, Martha with Sheaves of Barley—but Ruth’s Cup uniquely communicates her story of devotion and kindness.
