Order of the Eastern Star Symbol - Meaning and Significance #3827526 (License: Personal Use)

This emblem represents the Order of the Eastern Star (OES), a fraternal organization associated with Freemasonry, open to both men and women. Each of the five points corresponds to a biblical figure-Adah, Ruth, Esther, Martha, and Electa-and is colored red, blue, green, yellow, and white, respectively, with associated symbolic tools including a sword, anchor, crown, sheaf of wheat, and veil. At the center sits an open book, often interpreted as the Bible, flanked by a dove and lily, signifying purity and peace.

This image is commonly used on OES chapter websites, educational materials about Masonic orders, and historical overviews of fraternal societies. Users seeking to understand Masonic symbology or join affiliated organizations often search for this symbol.
