The shape evokes the legendary small boat which conducted the Saint-Maries from Palestine to Provence: Mary-Magdalene, her sister Martha, and Mary-Salome. This small boat "without sail either row, moved only by divine want, has been celebrated for almost two thousand years. But it is only since 1781, its birth date in Marseille, that it has been the incarnation of this religious event, taking a large part in the celebrations following Candlemas day, being bought by dozen, one for each month of the year.
