A source of origin, I must say, very much. Some scientists believe that this is an identification with a beautiful biblical lily of white color. Why is that? It's simple: the open petals are a six-pointed star of the right shape. In view of this interpretation, the star is inextricably linked with the menorah exhibited at the festivals in the very center of the star.

But the main version of the origin of this attribute is connected, of course, with King David, who used it as a personal symbol for an understandable reason: in his name there are 2 letters "d", which were then designated on the letter as triangles. According to one version, the king's shields had exactly this shape, according to another - they were leather, but with a star on them.

As a decorative element, the star of David existed for many centuries, and in 1354 became the original coat of arms of the Jewish community. The most widespread symbol was found in the 19th century, when Jews sought to find the distinctive sign of Judaism, something like a cross in Christians.
