Lera:By the way why do Catholics depict Mary as sitting between the horns of a bull ?

Mad Dawg:DO Catholics depict Mary as sitting between the horns of a bull?

Lera:It’s a fair question , look at what she is standing on/between in the picture.
It’s a pair of horns (moon shape) . That’s why I asked why do they depict her that way ? It’s not the first time I have noticed this as I have seen her pictured before like this on other icons/statues . What is the reason for putting her in between these horns /moon shape ?

Looks like she is standing on a devil head?

Looks like she is standing on a devil head? If you squint your eyes.

[Mad Dawg]

I'd say there's a difference between
"...Catholics depict Mary as sitting between the horns of a bull"
and
"standing"
"horns/moon shape"

"standing on/between"?
Am I "between" the carpet or the floor?

And of course, in the instance of Juan-Diego's tilma we do not attribute the depiction to ourselves.

But in any event,

And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars;
Revelation12:1

It also looks like she is standing on a bull head that looks like a devil, If you squint your eyes.
