Provenance |
This item appears to be associated with the Rebekahs, given the use of the colour green and the symbol depicted on the banner. The lily, long regarded as the emblem of purity, is a symbol of the purity of character, of thought, of word, and of action which are aspired to in the hearts and lives of members of the Rebekah Lodge. [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. |
