The Morning Star – Christine Valters Paintner

“The morning can be full of promise and new beginnings and Mary as the morning star is symbolic of all that we hope will come. Many of the early Church fathers wrote about the ‘morning star’ that shines brightly before the sun rises symbolizing Mary who is the light preceding the brilliant illumination of the Sun.”
