Star of David, Hebrew Magen David (“Shield of David”), Magen also spelled Mogen, Jewish symbol composed of two overlaid equilateral triangles that form a six-pointed star. It appears on synagogues, Jewish tombstones, and the flag of the State of Israel.

A hexagram ( Greek) or sexagram ( Latin) is a six-pointed geometric star figure with the Schläfli symbol {6/2}, 2 {3}, or { {3}}. Since there are no true regular continuous hexagrams, the term is instead used to refer to a compound figure of two equilateral triangles. The intersection is a regular hexagon .

The six-pointed star is a symbol seen throughout the world since the beginning of history. It has had different names, depending on what religion or belief system it appears in. The six-pointed star is most commonly called the Star of David. It is the symbol of the Jewish religion, and is in reference to Kind David from the Bible.

In the Jewish faith, the six-pointed star is called the Star of David and it is the most recognizable symbol of Judaism. However, the origins of the Star of David are not in Judaism. This symbol is recognized as far back as ancient Egypt.
