Pentagram :

A pentagram (sometimes known as a pentalpha or pentangle or, more formally,
as a star pentagon) is the shape of a five-pointed star drawn with five
straight strokes. The word pentagram comes from the Greek word ????????????
(pentagrammon), a noun form of ???????????? (pentagrammos) or ????????????
(pentegrammos), a word meaning roughly "five-lined" or "five lines".

pentagram has magical associations, and many people who practice Neopagan
faiths wear jewelry incorporating the symbol. Christians once more commonly
used the pentagram to represent the five wounds of Jesus, "Pentagram"
