A 13th century Church in Asturias, Spain known as 'Iglesia de Santa MarĂa' (1270 A.D.) |
These particular facts in question show quite clearly that when hexagrams were used to represent the Saints of the Church (David, Solomon, Mary, Jesus), they were seen by some of the earliest Christians as sacred and holy symbols of inherent goodness and were certainly not evil. Also, these early Christians probably knew full well about the dangers concerning the Occult and, in their eyes, the hexagram was neither dangerous nor a symbol of evil spiritual forces. Obviously, Christianity's deliberate choice of the hexagram as the official symbol designating Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, provides a strong indication that the Six-Pointed Star was, is, and will continue to be, a genuine Christian symbol which does not represent evil in any way, shape, or form. The evidence of history proves just the exact opposite- that the hexagram is a righteous symbol of both King David and his descendants, which include the Virgin Mary, as well as her Son Jesus Christ, 'the bright, Morning Star'.
