Who sits at the third point?

• A. Martha
• B. Esther
• C. Adah
• D. Ruth

Answer: (B)

In the Order of the Eastern Star, the five points of the star are named after five Biblical women in a fixed order: Adah, Ruth, Esther, Martha, and Electa. The third point in that sequence is Esther, which is why she sits there. Esther represents courage and timely action to aid her people, matching the symbolism of the third point.
