[MR] Authenticity (was pentograms)

Scripsit Werenher:
> Shall I hold a Mass at an event?

As long as it's not in the central area of the event, why not? I've seen 
preparations being made for a few such, though I was unable to attend. (I 
will assume that the religious service is being held in accordance with 
the rules of the denomination the service claims to be for.)

You do not appear to have said that previously.

While I do not know of any uses of a pentagram used as a heraldic charge 
by actual period people, my knowledge of period heraldry is by no means 
exhaustive. Furthermore, I *do* know that it is used on the arms 
attributed to Sir Gawain, Knight of the Round Table, as desceibed in some 
period versions of the Arthurian mythos.
