Although not a part of the Masonic
fraternity, membership is based on a Masonic affiliation or relationship,
a belief in God, a desire to acquire additional knowledge and self
improvement.
The degrees of the Order of the Eastern
Star teach lessons of fidelity, constancy, loyalty, faith and love. These
degrees are presented in a beautiful ritualistic ceremony designed to not
only teach the lessons, but also to provide insight for future study and
understanding.
The Order of the Eastern Star was
conceived, written and taught by a Master Mason to provide a place where
both men and women could work and serve side by side. It is now the
largest Fraternal organization in the world to which both men and women
belong.
The fraternal order is comprised of
people with deep religious convictions and spiritual values open to all
faiths except no faith.
The Eastern Star is also a social organization with
frequent formal events and ceremonies. Being a member is a wonderful and
a fulfilling way of life. Please ask an Eastern Star to tell you more
about it!
