Geoff Taggart, in his dedicating address explained the history history of banners, such as the one about to be unfurled. . The ceremony of dedicat ing a banner is a rare celebration celebration these days, he said. On the one hand, it seems to indicate the serious state in which our order finds itself these days, but on the other, it clearly establishes that in some areas, the Orange order order is not only alive and well, but also thriving. This is one such area. Purple Hill's original banner, banner, which was donated by several members of Eglinton Lodge in Toronto, had gone beyond the point of repair, and the lodge decided to pur chase a new one. Unwilling to settle for a mass produced banner available here, they commissioned a well-known Belfast banner maker, Tommy Tommy Robinson of Belford to produce a unique banner, especially especially for Purple Hill. After After many phone calls and personal visits, the banner was completed and has now arrived. Banners have long been associated with the Orange order, said Mr. Taggart. And second only to bands, they are a major attraction at all our parades and gatherings. They date back to the very beginnings of the Orange order order as they were first used as a rallying standard and an easily recognized identification identification source. Some eager scholars have attempted.to trace the banners' origins back to the original banners of the 12 tribes of Israel. They are not only interesting interesting pieces of art, but they perform several important functions as well. First, they establish the name and number of the lodge. Rare is Worthy Master Bro.
