The five-pointed star is an old Christian emblem that symbolizes Jesus Christ’s birth and reincarnation. It’s also known as the Bethlehem Star and the Epiphany Star. During the holiday season, the star is a popular decorative piece for use in church decorations. The Christian five-pointed star is not to be confused with the ‘Pentagram,’ which is a star made up of five crossing lines used by Wiccans and Pagans.
