Which symbol is used to symbolize the Order of the Eastern Star's symbolism?

• A. The five-pointed star
• B. The Cross
• C. The Circle
• D. The Triangle

Answer: (A)

The five-pointed star serves as the emblem that embodies the Order of the Eastern Star's symbolism. It represents the guiding light of the Order’s teachings, with each point linked to one of the biblical heroines—Adah, Ruth, Esther, Martha, and Mary—highlighting the virtues the organization emphasizes. Members use this star on regalia and in ceremonies as a constant reminder of these lessons and how they illuminate a path of service and charity. The other shapes—the cross, circle, or triangle—do not function as the primary emblem of the Order’s symbolism, so the star stands out as the distinctive emblem.
