Star of David Symbol - Meaning, History, and Religious Significance #1851931 (License: Personal Use)

The Star of David, or Magen David, is a six-pointed star formed by two equilateral triangles intersecting to create a symmetrical hexagram. Though not biblically mandated, it gained prominence in medieval Judaism as a decorative motif on flags, tombstones, and synagogues, later becoming a universal symbol of Jewish faith and peoplehood. It embodies concepts such as divine protection, cosmic balance, and the unity of opposites-spiritual and earthly, masculine and feminine.
