About Our Five-Pointed Star
The emblem of the Order is a five-pointed star with the white ray of the star pointing downwards. It is pointed downwards as to represent the Star of Bethlehem pointing downwards to the Manger.
In the center is the Bible upon the altar, the central item in any Chapter. The points represent the Five Heroines.
The inverted or "upside-down" five-pointed star or pentagram is disturbing to some people, but it has been used by numerous groups around the World for thousands of years. From the Babylonians, to the Taoists, to the Bahá'í Faith, and to some Christians who show it to represent the Five Wounds of Christ or the Five Joys that Mary had of Jesus (the Annunciation, the Nativity, the Resurrection, the Ascension, and the Assumption).
In geometry, the pentagram is also the simplest regular five-pointed polygon and it contains numerous examples of the Golden Ratio. This caused it to be revered by Pythagoras and his followers in Ancient Greece.
Additionally, the pentagram has been used by pagans, neo-pagans, and other groups.
