Lisa Lepore <llepore@...> #172838 Dorothy - I thought your question was interesting, so I went looking for an answer. I found pages with religious jewelry that identify it as a symbol of the Messianics. I didn't know about them, so I found this site - one among many after searching at google for messianic. This page has a brief definition of Messianic religious groups - http://altreligion.about.com/library/glossary/symbols/bldefsmessianic2.htm?terms=messianic [or http://tinyurl.com/c85w3 -- Mod.] Apparently there was a Messianic movement in Europe in the 1600's http://rabbiwein.com/column-209.html Maybe someone else can shed more light on this subject. Lisa llepore@comcast.net Mendon, MA toggle quoted messageShow quoted text Apropos to this subject I'd like to ask if anyone has knowledge of a Jewish star with a cross inside? I found this engraved on a tombstone in Wales. The graveyard was very, very old, overgrown with nettles and other weeds. I was struck dumb by this sight. If I remember right the name on the stone wasn't typically Jewish but that might not mean anything. Many years later I saw the same symbol, a sixpointed star with a cross in it, painted on the side of a hippy Volkswagon bus.
