ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR
Florida’s enduring legacy of charity, truth, and loving kindness — a sisterhood guided by the five points of the Eastern Star.
“In charity, truth and loving kindness”
It is my distinct honor and privilege to welcome you to the official website of the Noble Rose Christine W. Hayes Grand Chapter of Florida.
May the light of our Five Points continue to inspire each of us to lead with compassion, serve with humility, and strengthen the bonds of friendship and love that define our Order. I invite you to explore our website, stay connected with our activities, and join us as we continue building a future rooted in faith, fellowship, and excellence.
— Sister Shebra Lee , Grand Matron
The principles of the Order of the Eastern Star are personified by five biblical women, each representing a virtue at the heart of our sisterhood.
Adah
Daughter of Jephthah — symbol of unwavering devotion and the keeping of sacred vows.
Ruth
The Moabitess — emblem of loyalty, humility, and the constancy of love.
Martha
Sister of Lazarus — representation of faith, hospitality, and steadfast trust.
Esther
The Queen — embodiment of courageous devotion to one's people and convictions.
Electa
The Elect Lady — figure of charity, sacrifice, and unyielding patience under trial.
"Spiritual women of high moral and social character, contributing time, energy, and wisdom toward charity, truth, and loving kindness."
The Grand Chapter of Florida is established under IFAMM.
Chapters bloom across Florida, uniting sisters from every region.
Renamed in honor of Sister Christine W. Hayes, the longest-serving Grand Matron.
Service, scholarship, and sisterhood continue to flourish under new leadership.
