Six-Point Star (Hexagram; Star of David) The six-point star or hexagram is a simple geometric shape consisting of the intersection of two equilateral triangles. It is an ancient symbol that appears in many religions. Probably the most well known hexagram is the Star of David, a major symbol of Judaism.
The upside-down star is said to be symbolic of the goat, with the two top points representing the horns, the two side points representing ears and the bottom point representing the beard. By contrast, the five points of the right-side-up star is said to represent Christ's five wounds -- two arms, two legs and side.
