The Order of Eastern Star is a Masonic related fraternity of
women and men dedicated to charity, truth and loving kindness. The degrees of
the Order of 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 Eastern Star is also a social organization with frequent
formal events and ceremonies. The Order of Eastern Star was conceived, written,
and taught by a Master Mason to provide a place where both men and women could
work side by side. It is now the largest fraternal organization in the world to
which both men and women belong.
