A title of The Blessed Virgin Mary initiated by St. Jerome in the 4th c. to empathize Mary’s role as a guiding star for Christians and Gentiles, as the Israelites believed Gentiles came from outside their borders – “the sea.” The Apostleship of the Sea was named after her as seafarers invoke her as a guiding star especially in coastal communities.
