Neither the Cana passage nor the Revelations passage say anything about Mary being "Queen".

The Wedding at Cana clearly illustrates how our Lord's Mother supports Jesus and guides God's children to obey him.

Revelations does prophecy Our Lady as a Queen.

Revelations 12:1

1 A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman 2 clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. 2 She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth. 3 3 Then another sign appeared in the sky; it was a huge red dragon, 4 with seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads were seven diadems. 4 Its tail swept away a third of the stars in the sky and hurled them down to the earth. Then the dragon stood before the woman about to give birth, to devour her child when she gave birth. 5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod. 5 Her child was caught up to God and his throne. 6 The woman herself fled into the desert where she had a place prepared by God, that there she might be taken care of for twelve hundred and sixty days. 6

Crown is usually a symbol of royalty, leadership perhaps a queen? What is so hard to understand about a good, Jewish mother, who became our spiritual mother, and a role model for all of us. Some people venerate Shaquille O'Neil, we venerate Jesus' mother. She was a true part of Jesus, she is a great role model, and she helps us obey Jesus. She is such a great gift that God gave us.

Rev 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:

This woman is NOT Mary...Why do you people refuse to study the scriptures???

The woman is Israel...The twelve stars of the crown are the twelve tribes of Israel...

What is so hard to understand about a good, Jewish mother, who became our spiritual mother, and a role model for all of us.

Because it's a fantasy...A fabrication...Just like the story of the crown on the woman's head...
