Bethlehem Pennsylvania, not Palestine
Bethlehem PA (Pennsylvania, not Palestine) USA 1986 Christmas postage stamp issued just because this city of about 70000 people is called after the birthplace of Jesus. On the cancel, we see the three Magi (aka:Wise Men, Kings, or Kings from the east) riding on their camels towards Bethlehem guided by the Star of Mary that looks exactly like the Star of David.

Elias Katz
Athlete Elias Katz (in the picture, wearing a Star of David) won a gold medal as a member of Finland’s championship 3,000-Meter team. Katz immigrated to Israel in 1933 and was the coach of the Israeli Olympic Team preparing for the 1948 Games in London. Arab terrorists murdered him in 1947, while he projected a film at a British army camp near Gaza.
Dobush from Kfar Aza referred me to this story and I thank him for that.

Christian White Lily
On a postage stamp titled Madonna of Luxemburg (1945) we see a frame made from hexagrams and white Lilies alternately surrounding Mary with Jesus on her bosom. The hexagram is called sometimes the Star of Mary. The white lily symbolizes purity and virginity. Researcher Uri Ofir discovered that there’s also a connection between the Jewish six-pointed star and the White Lily since the Star of David comes from the Lily (and the knob) of the Tabernacle candlestick. The picture is courtesy of Gideon from the Israeli Stamp collector’s Forum “collect”.
