The significance of the pentagram - 5-pointed star - depends on the context. By far the most common meaning is American patriotism. There are no less than 50 five-pointed stars on the American flag, and the star is displayed on countless government and military insignias.

In Christianity, the Star of Bethlehem is often depicted as a pentagram with the downward point directing the viewer toward the Infant Christ.

In Wicca and other Neo-Pagan contexts, the pentagram or pentangle represents the 5 Sacred Things: Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit.
