THE MOHAMMEDAN SYMBOL. ■' i ■■ An interesting story lies, behind the ; crescent moon and star, which is the i symbol of Mohammedanism. It was adopted by the Mohammedans [ in 1435, when Mohammed 11. captured , Constantinople. Originally it was the ! ; symbol of Diana,, the patroness of Byzantium, and had for many years been the special emblem of Constantinople. The symbol originated at the time of . the siege of Constantinople by the father :of Alexander the Great, when a night attempt of the besiegers to undermine the walls of the city was betrayed by the light of a crescent moon. In gratitude for their escape', the Byzantines- raked a statue to Diana and made her badge the symbol of the city. For 11 centuries,, during which time Christianity was the Statfr religion in Constantinople, the Cross and Crescent ruled side by side, the Crescent not yet having attained its present religious significance.
