“The effects of the Catholic Church’s decision to deify Mary by calling her Theotokos - “Birth-Giver of God” are still being felt. Ironically, prior to Christianity, Ephesus was the place deified the goddess Diana...”

Like Rome’s Mary, Diana was also known as the “Queen of Heaven.”

Ephesus was the place [that] deified the goddess Diana.

And Rev 2:4,5 says that that church at Ephesis has left its first love.

"But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent."

Could it be?

Let's discuss.

She’s probably some sort of distant cousin of mine.

Does that count?

(Sorry, this is none of my business, but I understand she was of the house of Levi, so I couldn’t resist.)
