The month of May was sacred to her Diana at Ephesus. What month is the month dedicated to Mary?

Acts 19:27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.

Craft? What craft? How about all the trinkets and necklaces (Rosary) dedicated to the goddess Diana. Just do a little research on the image of the Ephesian Diana.

Revelation 2:1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

Daniel 11:38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.

It’s no coincidence that the veneration of Mary as the “queen of heaven” started in Ephesus. God calls it an abomination.

Veneration as “Queen of Heaven” is strictly a Western Church Tradition. Be careful with Revelation. It is only read in my church once a year. It made it into the canon by ONE vote.
The keys to interpreting it were lost when St. John died.

I would not dare to try personally, because it is way to cryptic.

In the Eastern Church, The Virgin Mary is NEVER depicted without her son in her arms.
