The sash in the picture to the left (circa 1900, image courtesy of Healthy Investment, Bury, Lancs) belonged to a Chief Ruler, the highest ranking officer in a Rechabite District. It clearly shows the Rechabite emblem with its many symbols, most of which were related to Christian themes. White sashes were presented to new members at the conclusion of the Rechabite initiation ceremony. The symbolism of the colour white was explained via a reading from the book of Revelations 7.9. The main theme being that the robes of the Twelve tribes were made white by washing them in the blood of the Lamb. “From which we learn that white is an emblem of purity. The white sash, therefore, is to teach you that your life must be pure and free from immoral blemishes, and I trust that while you wear the robe of purity you will keep yourself unspotted from the world”.(6) The Rechabite sash, therefore acted as a reminder to members of their duties from a Christian perspective. The ‘immoral blemishes’ were to be avoided at all costs and very probably related to both the consumption of alcohol and a breaking of the Rechabite pledge in which all members consented to a life of total abstinence.
