This is the house crests of the Three Magii from the bible (the three wise men). It is c1490 though the crests of course were known much farther back than that. This comes from two separate sources, the other being a painting "The adoration of hte Magii".

Notice that one of the crests is effectively the moon and star seen on islamic flags. This is no coincidence, Islam and Christianity have always been closely linked.

@AutisticLady Yup, most people just dont realize how much overlap there is in the teaching and history of both.

@freemo Mohammad stated it was okay for Jewish and Christian wives that married into a Muslim family to keep worshiping the way they always did before the marriage.

Any other religion was required to convert.

@AutisticLady Yea I've heard that before. Its a really enlightened stance to take, particularly for the time period.
