Sails
Led by the SpiritThe Sails are part of the ancient great Ship, which today is divided into Keel, Stern, and Sails. In the biblical picture, this Ship represents the redeemed people of God safely returning home, and the Sails reveal how it moves: not by its own strength, but receiving the wind — a beautiful image of a people led by the Spirit of God. In the overall picture of Cancer, after the two flocks of God — Israel and the Church — the Ship appears, carrying those gathered by God to a place of rest. The ancient description is especially expressive: the Ship goes stern-first, as if already entering the harbor after a completed voyage.
