Mary is the Mother of God. I created this 3 days after the celebration of the Feast day of Mary as the Mother of God or New Year. This blog will help you to know who Mary is and what are the other titles called to her throughout the year. This will help you in studies together with my other blog entitled Lives of the Saints.
In the picture above left is the Coronation of Mary as the Queen of Heaven and Earth. She intercedes for us, and above her is the crown, the angels in the left and in the right hold the crown.
Why is she wearing blue?
Blue means Immaculate, and when her feast day is held, sometimes she is sung in the church the "Immaculate Mary".
Why Immaculate?
Immaculate because Mary is conceived without Original Sin.
Why on her feet a moon?
According to the book of Revelation chapter 12:1-9 says in the title of "The woman and the Dragon"
"A
great sign appeared in the sky, a woman
clothed with the sun, with the moon un-
der her feet, and on her head a crown
of twelve stars. Because she was with
child, she wailed aloud in pain as she
labored to give birth. Then another
sign appeared in the sky: it was a huge
dragon, flaming red, with seven heads
and ten horns; on his heads were seven
diadems. His tail swept a third of the
stars from the sky and hurled them
down to the earth. Then the dragon
stood before the woman about to give
birth, ready to devour her child when
it should be born. She gave birth to
a son-a boy destined to shepherd all the
nations with an iron rod. Her child was
caught up to God and to His throne.
The woman herself fled into the
desert, where a special place had been
prepared for her by God; there she was
taken care of for twelve hundred and
sixty days.
Then war broke out in heaven;
Michael and his angels battled against the
dragon. Although the dragon and his
angels fought back, they were over-
powered and lost their place in heaven.
The huge dragon, the ancient serpent known as the devil or Satan, the seducer
of the whole world, was driven out; he
was hurled down to earth and his min-
ions with him."
For another explanation,
The "woman" who is been said in the scripture is Mary
and the "child' is Our Savior Jesus Christ.
Now the huge dragon is being explained in the scripture, so it does not need to have another explanation.
Now, why is St. Michael the Archangel and the other angels have been in the Scripture?
St. Michael is known as the Chief of the Heavenly Hosts.
Above Mary are the Cherubs. Why are they happy?
Heaven is a place of happiness where you can find the true happiness of our life, Jesus Christ.
Mary will first welcome you to heaven then followed by Jesus, the Saints, the Archangels, and the Angels are in heaven waiting for you. They will comfort you, teach the way to the Father, and with the Holy Spirit guides you.
