Provenance |
This item appears to be associated with the Rebekahs, given the use of the colour pink and the symbol depicted on the banner. The dove, a universally recognized emblem of peace, has this significance in the Rebekah Degree. Through the mission of love and charity, of tolerance and forbearance, Rebekahs are to strive to bring happiness to others and to promote "Peace on earth and good will to men." [odd-fellows.org] The Rebekahs, also known as the International Association of Rebekah Assemblies (IARA) and originally the Daughters of Rebekah was initially designed as a the female auxiliary of The Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The IOOF was a Global Fraternal Organization with roots going back to 1730 London, England. The Rebekahs was founded in 1851. |
