| Description | Image of a Christian Morning Star. Comments paraphrased from Gilgamesh's user talk page: ...various pentagram shapes were used by Christians — even in the United States — until about a century ago, when it became associated with Satan worship because of some popular occult literature from out of France. Fewer Christians use it today, and many are scarcely aware that it was so recently a common Christian symbol. It is still, however, used prominently by the LDS Church, chiefly in Temple design (as it has been since the mid 19th century) and is the only Christian pentagram I know of that is still in continuous use. The design as I submitted comes from the Nauvoo Temple, and features the characteristic radial light/dark relief shading and the elongated bottom point. The symbol represents Jesus Christ as the morning star, as he replaced the previous morning star — the rebellious Lucifer — in the pre-mortal existence. | |||
