The Star of David first appears in Jewish sources beginning in the Second Temple period primarily as a decorative motif. Starting in the Middle Ages, the symbol begins to appear in religious texts, Jewish family seals and Jewish establishments in Central and Southern Europe before moving to Western and Eastern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East as well. By the 19th century, the Star of David attained its prominence as a Jewish symbol, so much so that it is the highlight of the Israeli flag.
