Famous Religious Bronze Standing Our Lady Star of the Sea

The title of “Our Lady Star of the Sea” has been in use since at least the early Middle Ages. Allegedly caused by a transcription error in the alleged etymology of Mary’s name, which is seen as symbolizing Mary’s role as a “guiding light” on the road to Christ. Under this name, the Virgin Mary was thought to be the guide and protector of seamen in particular. The Sea Apostles and many coastal churches are named Stella Maris or Stars of the Sea. The etymology of the name Mary as “Star of the Sea” was common in the early Middle Ages. It is cited in Isidore’s etymology (7th century). The simple hymn Ave Maris Stella dates back to about the 8th century. Paschasius Radbertus gave an allegorical interpretation of the name in the 9th century, writing that Mary was the “sea star” on the path to Christ, “lest we capsize in the stormy waves.” The idea of Mary as a guiding star for seafarers led to the devotion of many Catholic coastal and fishing communities to our Lady of the Sea Star. Many churches, schools, and colleges are dedicated to “Our Lady of the Sea Star” or “Mary of the Sea Star”.
