One of the numerous titles for the Mother of God is "Stella Maris." A significant statue is also venerated under this special patronage in Maastricht, although the town is located on the Meuse River, but by no means near the seashore.

This is a fifteenth-century statue of Mary, or: the Star of the Sea. According to legend, Mary was given this name by a noble couple who encountered a storm during a sea voyage and called on Mary to be spared.
