Greek Sun/Star or Vergina Sun/Star

There are many other symbols which use the rayed star (the ancient Greek symbol) across the centuries. The ancient Greek stars can contain 3-rays up to 24-rays, and all rays have many shapes, according to their inner meaning found in archaeological monuments. Many ancient archaeological findings exist today, such as ancient Greek coins, texts, icons, emblems, tituli, ostraca, fragments, epigrammata, papyrorum, tablettes, recensios, sculpures, vases, monuments etc. which make use of the ancient Greek rayed star symbol.



Even Achilles has the rayed star on his armory - as well as many of the ancient Greek gods and goddesses.

The symbol is the continuation of the oldest ancient Greek symbol of the Sun, which also predominated on the Acropolis of Athens.





Inside the outer wall of columns of the Parthenon in Nashville, Tennessee. This «Parthenon» is a full-scale replica of the original Parthenon in Athens. It was built in 1897 as part of the Tennessee Centennial Exposition.

The Sun was also the most important symbol of the origin and continuation of all Hellenes: Arcadians, Athenians, Thessalians, Macedonians - their first God, before the Olympian Gods. The choice of this symbol was obvious and natural: one of the most vital elements on earth is the Sun - the source of life.

Many people call it "the Sun of Vergina" or the "Macedonian Star" but this is only a partial truth. This symbol has a history of more than three thousand years. It was the original logo or sign which the Proto-Hellenes used as their emblem for many centuries. The Macedonians simply continued the ancient Proto-Hellenic (Homeric) heritage or tradition of their forefathers.

From the late 17th century AD, and in particular the 18th century, classical Greek civilization began to attract the ever-growing interest, curiosity and imagination of western Europeans. One manifestation of this was the numerous "journeys of discovery" undertaken by various scholars to the soil of "rediscovered Hellas" itself, which was then still part of the Ottoman Empire. Two such individuals were the young architects James Stuart and Nicholas Revett, who in 1751 arrived in Attica and immediately set about accurately recording the architectural details of surviving buildings of classical Athens and its surroundings.

Θέλουν οι Σκοπιανοί της Διασποράς να βγάλουν μια Visa με τον ήλιο της Βεργίνας δηλ. τον ήλιο των Ελλήνων, ο οποίος έχει κατοχυρωθεί νομικά από το ελληνικό κράτος παγκοσμίως...

Dear Mark,

Hello I';ve attached just some basic information about the Star of Vergina and the copyright below from the WIPO web site. The last 3 links shows the 3 different designs based on the number of star bursts that are copyrighted by the Greek state. Also the flag is the official flag of the Macedonia inside the Greek state. So you can see where the problem would be with them having it on their card.

Here it gives info about the copyrights of flags and emblems.

The Sun of the Greeks is an ancient Greek symbol, found in different locations all over the ancient Greek World, and it's not a Greek Macedonian symbol as many use to think... It's healing powers are amazing in many healing therapies, and especially in healing fear and in giving clear vision and sight to new projects.

Ο Ήλιος των Ελλήνων είναι ένα πανάρχαιο Ελληνικό σύμβολο που βρέθηκε σε διάφορα σημεία του Ελλαδικού χώρου, και δεν είναι ένα Μακεδονικό σύμβολο όπως επικράτησε να θεωρείται. Οι θεραπευτικές ιδιότητες αυτού του συμβόλου είναι τεράστιες και ιδιαίτερα για θεραπείες Φοβιών και για ενίσχυση της Ενόρασης και καθαρισμό της ιδίως στην αρχή νέων σχεδίων.
