Description: 3" Die Cut white Gloss VinylAre you familiar with the Masonic Blue Slipper? It isa small lapel pin and / or car decal in the shape of a blueslipper. Over the years it has been my habit to ask my wife anddaughters to wear one of these slippers on their clothing as well as on the backof their car. when traveling alone away from home. What is themeaning of the blue slipper and why should female relatives of Masons wear one?To find out the meaning of the pin, we have to go back inhistory to the time of Boaz – to be found in the book of Ruth. Thisis the well known story of Naomi returning to her own land after the death ofher husband, Elimelech, and her sons. One daughter in-law, Ruth, a Moabite,accompanied her mother-in-law back to Bethlehem Judah but, both were destitute.Ruth went to work in the fields to enable her to look after hermother-in-law. However, the law of the land stated that Elimelech’s nextof kin was duty bound to redeem his possessions and look after his widow andoff-spring. The next of kin refused to do so. Boaz offered tobecome the redeemer of Elimelech’s property – a proposition that the next ofkin accepted. To seal the bargain, Boaz and the next of kin met atthe city gates in the presence of the elders. The next of kin drew off his shoeand handed it to Boaz as a token of the bargain. Boaz held the shoeup for all to see – he asked them to be witnesses that he had become Naomi’sprotector, Ruth’s husband and a redeemer of Elimelech’s property.Thus today we have the little blue slipper as an emblem of theprotective influence of Masons for their wives, widows and daughters.Special Thanks to Brother Bob from GA -the original designer of this great decal.. it is important that our ladies are protected"
