IIRC, there’s something in the Ten Commandments about not making graven images and bowing down to them......
If you look closely you can see the Nazar (evil eye) attached to “Mary.”
In the Hebrew, it says “idols,” not “graven images”. An idol is an image of a false god. Mary is not a goddess, whether false or any other kind, so the verse you’re thinking of simply doesn’t apply.
Catholic do now bow down to plaster atatues and you know it. While they may pray to the person represented by the statue, they only use the statue as decoration and to remind them of whoever it is....Early Christianity was taught with statues, stained glass windows, pictures etc. because the people were illiterate for the most part.....worked just fine.
