The Five-Pointed Star
Lessons of the Five Heroines
Each point of our Star symbolizes a virtue, a color, and a heroic woman from Biblical history who displayed great devotion, courage, and faith.
The first point represents **Jephthah's Daughter**, symbolizing loyalty and obedience. Her story teaches us the value of adhering to one's word and moral integrity, regardless of the personal cost.
The yellow point honors **Ruth**, the faithful widow, who embodies steadfast friendship and devotion. She teaches us selfless commitment and perseverance through difficult circumstances.
The white point is dedicated to **Queen Esther**, representing loyalty and courage. She demonstrated moral fortitude by risking her own life to save her people, standing for righteousness and truth.
The green point represents **Martha**, the sister of Lazarus, symbolizing faith in immortality. Her lesson encourages a steadfast and unwavering belief in divine promises and eternal life.
The red point honors **Electa**, the "elect lady," signifying fortitude and endurance. She teaches us the highest form of Christian love and patience in the face of tribulation and persecution.
