The joining of the man and woman with the trinity, the representation of Christs wounds, the enumeration of the covenants, the colors of the veil or the "flesh of Christ"... ...I mean just wow!

It can be found in the Tomb of Mount Olives in Jerusalem and also in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. A case can be made for this design being the oldest symbol to represent Christianity.

Actually your whole site has been great, keep it up. Here is what I posted over at the backyardprofessor (Kerry Shirts), as linked above by Reed Russell: "I had a very pleasant opportunity to visit the Wilshire Jewish Temple, in Los Angeles recently. The Rabbi very graciously gave the Mormons a tour. [ http://mormonmysticism.blogspot.com/2007/11/mark-paredes-what-makes-mormon-111307.html ] We passed a window with photos of the history of the marvelous building. In one of the photos of the original building he almost embarrassingly mentioned that he had no idea why at the front of the building, above the door was a large inverted five-pointed star. And they have since replaced it with a traditional Star of David. I found this interesting." -David Great Post! Actually your whole site has been great, keep it up.

It has great information about the pentagram as a Christian symbol. Indeed, the very city seal of Jerusalem was a pentagram. Thank you for the link.
