The Star from ancient times until today, in almost every culture and every tradition has a strong symbolism.

From Greek mythology (where it was customary for important persons to become constellations and find redemption), the star of David, the star of Bethlehem, the pentacle, the Celtic star, the multitude of flags, coats of arms and coins of states adorned with stars , company logos and dozens of other examples, prove that stars as symbols have been and are part of human culture from the dawn of civilization to the present day.

But why were the stars, with their little light, so important in the lives of all people? There are many reasons, but the most important are two:

• The appearance of some stars in the sky signaled the beginning of a period of work, usually agricultural. e.g. The appearance of the Pleiades in the East (which happens at the end of May) signaled the beginning of summer, while the Pleiades in the West foretold the coming of winter.

Thus by “reading” the stars, they knew precisely when to carry out their agricultural work, for a rich harvest.

• Another contribution of the stars to mankind is their contribution to navigation. Some stars do not move in the firmament and thus give sailors fixed points of reference in mid-ocean. A typical example is the pole star which always points north.

Thus the ships were able to travel long distances and as a result the trade developed to a great extent.

Over the centuries, they have been given many symbols, religious, political, patriotic, mythical, etc., but beyond all that, the stars have always been mankind’s guide to progress and development.

That is why the star can only symbolize the path to progress, success and the best result. And because it always returns sailors safely home, it symbolizes strong ties to our roots and family.
