The Rebekahs is the women's branch of the I.O.O.F. It has similar degrees and activities and purposes. See the I.O.O.F. page for details. Its flagholders are many  and varied. They are characterized by the letter R, a bird with outspread wings, and a crescent with seven stars. The Rebekah markers are among the most beautiful.
