The Symbol for 2014 HAND WOVEN BASKET
Like a basket our lives are woven one row at a time.
The basket was chosen to remind us of our heritage and the traditions that are
handed down from generation to generation. We must retain the best from
the past as we weave for the future. |
|
|
FLOWERS for 2014 will be: |
PINK ROSE:
My favorite flower.
LILY OF THE VALLEY:
Chosen in honor of my family, the lily of the valley grew in my yard each spring
as I was growing up and is the birth flower for my grandfather on whose Masonic
heritage I joined Eastern Star. |
|
SHAMROCK: A symbol of luck and good fortune. According to
the legend was used by St. Patrick to represent the Holy Trinity as he taught
Christianity. |
FERN with LADYBUG: A symbol of life everlasting and my first
office of Martha. If you look closely you may find a ladybug on the
leaves. This is to honor the present and past Grand Representatives of
Missouri, who do so much to support our Order.
STRAWBERRY PLANT:
Chosen to remind us that life's journey is sweeter when shared with a
friend. |
|
Colors for 2014 will be: |
BLUE:
All shades from the deepest midnight blue to the blue of a bright sunny day,
with emphasis on navy blue.
AMETHYST: The purple
hues found in each sunrise and sunset. |
| GREEN:
To represent to beauty of nature. |
|
PINK:
A favorite color of mine chosen
to remind us that love and friendship when combined with remembrance and
awareness are values to cherish. |
ANTIQUE IVORY: Reminding us of our traditions and heritage.
(All accented with Gold, Silver and Ecru Lace) |
I feel it is an honor and privilege to serve our beautiful Order as we begin
the journey to 2014. I would ask that the Conductresses only
wear the official pin on the ribbons.
Marge Carney,
Grand Conductress |
