STAR OF THE SEA – CARIDAD
‘MARY, STAR OF THE SEA, GUIDE US ON OUR WAY’
The two chaplets below have a beautiful medal of Our Lady of Caridad (Patroness of Cuba) and we might ask why? Mary is Mary regardless of the title bestowed on her by various apparitions, groups, countries or families.  Mary as Star of the Sea (Stella Maris) and the Virgin of Caridad (Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre) each  have a long history.  Star of the Sea dates back to at least the 9th century as Patroness and protector of those at sea.  The legend of Caridad dates back to the 1600’s.
