A circle of 12 stars is the Catholic symbol for Mary, Queen

Indeed, the flag was even adopted on December 8th, the
Catholic Feast of the Immaculate Conception - when Catholics
celebrate the conception of Mary by Anne and Joachim without
original sin.
Because of Europe's Christian roots, I can see putting some
sort of Christian symbology on their flag. But, with so many
Protestants and Eastern Orthodox there, would a majority of
Europeans *knowingly* vote for an almost exclusively Roman
Catholic symbol?
