This is the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God. Mary always points the way to her Son, Jesus Christ, just as celestial navigators used stars to point their way to their destinations.

Stella Maris, meaning "Star of the Sea," is often associated with sailors and maritime activities, but she is not officially recognized as the patron saint of the U.S. Marine Corps.

For example:- * St Erasmus of Formiae is widely regarded as the patron saint sailors (and also the that of pyrotechnicians, steeplejacks, chimney sweeps and anyone who works at great heights). * * Brendan the Navigator (the patron saint of mariners, seafarers, sailors and those traveling by sea), and * * Peter the Apostle (whose wideranging patronage extends over sailors, popes, fishermen, fishmongers, bakers, harvesters, butchers, glass makers, carpenters, shoemakers, clockmakers, blacksmiths, potters, masons, bridge builders and cloth makers).
