Ateboshi - Ateboshi

Ateboshi - Ateboshi

…Strangely enough, in Christianity, the starfish is considered a symbol of the power of endless love and the Holy Spirit. This is due to the influence of ancient legends (Pliny the Elder, Book 9 of Natural History) that the starfish burns everything it touches and instantly burns everything it eats. It is also thought to be a result of the attributes of the Virgin Mary, who is related to the lineage of Venus, the Earth Goddess, being reflected in the starfish, which is a "star that fell into the sea."
