It's simple: the opened petals are a six-pointed star of the correct form. In view of this interpretation, the star is inextricably linked with the menorah, which is displayed at the holidays in the very center of the star.
But the main version of the origin of this attribute is connected, of course, with King David,who used it as a personal symbol for an obvious reason: in his name there are 2 letters "d", which were then indicated on the letter as triangles. According to one version, the king's shields had exactly this shape, according to another - they were made of leather, but always with a star applied.
As a decorative element, the Star of David existed for many centuries, and in 1354 it became a kind of coat of arms of the Jewish community. The symbol gained its greatest popularity in the 19th century, when Jews sought to find the hallmark of Judaism, something like the cross among Christians.
