A message from the Visual Arts Committee

Stars are often used as symbols in Christian art. The 5 pointed “Epiphany Star” is sometimes called “The Star of Jacob” (Numbers 24:17) that finds its fulfillment in the “manifestation: of Jesus to the Gentiles (Matt. 2:12) The Star of David is two interwoven equilateral triangles that form a 6 pointed star traditionally the shape of David’s shield. It is sometimes called “The Creator’s Star” with the 6 points recalling the 6 days of creation. A 9 pointed star stands for the 9 fruits of the Spirit (Galations5:22). Usually each point contains the name or initial of the Latin word of the gift it symbolizes.
