Answer 2

Each color stands for the 5 heroines of The Bible and the stories of each are recited in the chapter meetings and other events of the chapter. Corresponding to the colors is a flower, a symbol, and a password ( these things are only known to members so I can not tell them on here). A member sits as one of heroines for a year in her spot on the star in the center of the chapter room.
