"Re. 12:1 and that whole chapter is describing Israel, not Mary.

Revelation 12:1 ¶And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

Mary was never a great wonder."

You will have to provide me with some references to support the tradition that a Biblical passage about a woman who carried the Messiah, pained to be delivered (gave birth in a manger), evaded his murder, delivered the child unto the Throne (had him consecrated in the House of the Lord), fled persecution into the wilderness (fled to Egypt), whose children profess the testimony of Jesus Christ can not possibly be about the Messiah's mother.

You can't allow yourself to see that Mary's relationship to Eve, being the chosen vessel of the end of the fall of man as Eve was the inception of the fall is indeed a great wonder? Really? Eve:"my will" Mary:"Your will" You don't see it?

How can that not be wonderful to you?

I can't worship Mary, it's against my religion.
