Members of the Indian community were among those who took
up an invitation from the Orange Institution to visit Orange
halls in Belfast.
And they were interested to view Orange sashes made in India
during their visit!
The sashes were made for Rising Sons of India L.O.L. No.
1300, Sandy Row District and the banner of the lodge was also
displayed during a visit to Sandy Row Orange Hall.
Brethren from the Sandy Row district put on a tremendous
display for the occasion, with many banners displayed for
visitors.
Meanwhile, in East Belfast Ballymacarrett Orange Hall also
put on a display for invited guests from Cregagh Primary School.
Nearby murals in Thorndyke Street were also highlighted for
those taking part in the Community Relations' event.
The event was organised by the education officer for the
Institution, Brother David Scott, and was a highly successful
introduction to the Orange tradition for the groups concerned.
