Decoration Of Chilvary: Independent Order Of Oddfellows, Rebekah Lodge Medal

A number of hard working sisters have earned the Decoration of Chivalry. This jewel is presented in a special ceremony conducted by the Patriarchs Militant during their annual session. Every second year, a Rebekah lodge may nominate one of its members who has given outstanding service to her lodge and to her community. An application from the lodge, stating the sister’s services clearly, is sent through the nearest Canton to the Department Council of the jurisdiction. If the application is approved, the lodge is informed to purchase the jewel. The jewel has an oval-shaped bar with a diamond on a six-pointed star attached to the pendant with a link chain. The pendant is a cross in white enamel with a gold rim centered with a red heart and a raised gold crown. The presentation ceremony includes a ritualistic washing of the hands. To dry the hands, the recipient is given a small towel with her name embroidered below the emblem of the Patriarchs Militant branch of the Order.
Men are also awarded the Decoration of Chivalry. Application on their behalf must be made by a Canton in the Department.
