Where did David’s shield come from?
Today, many people buy this symbol for themselves and acquaintances in the form of pendants, pendants, wall attributes in the Jewish store “Red Thread” and others, but not everyone knows where it comes from what meaning does this symbol have.
And sources of origin, I must say, a lot. Some scholars are convinced that this is an identification with a beautiful biblical lily of a snow-white color. Why is that? It's simple: the opened petals are a six-pointed star of the correct form. In view of this interpretation, the star is inextricably linked with the menorah exhibited during the holidays 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 obvious reason: in his name there are 2 letters “d”, which were then designated as triangles on the letter. According to one version, the king’s shields had just such a shape, according to another - they were leather, but always with a star applied.
As a decorative element, the star of David has existed for many centuries, and in 1354 it became a kind of emblem of the Jewish community. The symbol became most widespread in the 19th century, when Jews sought to find the distinctive sign of Judaism, a kind of cross among Christians.
