The Pentagram has been used as a symbol of Christianity, particularly by the Knights Templar, a military order that was active during the Crusades. It stood for the five wounds of Christ and in the past it was commonly seen as a symbol of protection or a way to ward off evil.
The pentagram was also known as the seal of Salomo, from ancient times protecting against evil entities.
