Oo: Orangemen

Orange-menUsually a Protestant of Scotch Presbyterian Faith; a member of the Loyal Orange Institution an Irish society organized in the north of Ireland, and largely flourishing in Ulster. It was established in 1795 to defend the laws and rules of England, and to maintain in Ireland the Protestant ascendancy in the face of the rising agitation of the Catholic Emancipation. Its name is taken from the family of King William III of England (William of Orange), who defeated King James II on July 12, 1690, and who landed in England on November 5, 1688. As anniversaries of these two dates, holiday celebrations are made by the L.O.I, at which time members of the order wear orange-colored flowers, oranges sashes and join in parades.
