ArchivesRe: Talitha
in reply to a message by Trisha
On this site you wil find another explanation:
http://www.winshop.com.au/annew/Talitha.html
I'll paste it in here:
History of the star: On the right front paw of the Greater Bear Ursa Major.
This title Talitha "Third [leap of the Gazelle]" was applied by the Arabs to iota and kappa together; Talitha Borealis (this star iota) "Third Leap [of the Gazelle] north", and Talitha Australis (kappa) "Third Leap [of the Gazelle] south"; (iota, now in 2001, at 02LEO49, kappa at 03LEO59.).
Talitha is from Arabic Ath-Thalithah (1), Ulug Beigh has it Al Phikra al Thalitha, perhaps for Al Kafzah al-thalithah, the third spring, or leap, of the ghazal; [al Ula , the First (leap), being shown by nu (Alula Boreale, and xi (Alula Australis), and al Thaniyah, the Second (leap), by lamda (Tania Borealis) and nu (Tania Australis) See Alula Boreale about the Leaps of the Gazelle.
Smyth wrote that this star has obtained the name of Talita, "the third vertebra", the meaning of which is not quite clear. Hyde strangely rendered the original words of Ulug Beg as the "Vertebrae" of the Greater Bear, — whence probably Smyth's statement, — or "the Cavity of the Heel", which, from the star's position in the figure, is a much more likely translation. (Allen).
"Talitha" means "Daughter of the assembly". A star in the right front leg of the Greater Bear. Therein lies an amazing story of the origin of the Bible. In Mark 5:22&23, Jairus one of the rulers of the synagogue (assembly), comes to Jesus and said "my little daughter is at the point of death". So here we have the "daughter of the assembly". Jesus goes to the house of the daughter and in Mark 5:41 he takes her hand and says "Talitha Cumi" which means "daughter arise". So what's being said? The star in the right rear leg of Ursa and the star in the front leg of Ursa is used as the basis of this story of healing and compassion. It is written in the stars and one must consider, is the power in the stars as well?"
