The Guiding Star
Cherie created the Guiding Star Coat as a reminder of the Light of Christ, the steady light that guides us through life’s storms. She was inspired by the old New England tale of The Maiden’s Light, where a young woman kept a lantern glowing in her window every night as she waited for her beloved sailor to return. Though he never came home, her faithful light became a beacon that helped countless sailors find their way to shore.
Just as the maiden’s light guided those lost at sea, the light of Christ guides us toward hope, safety, and purpose. The Guiding Star Coat symbolizes that truth—when we keep our light burning, we help others find their way home.
