I agree with others that it’s the Holy Spirit. Once I went from Catholic to Lutheran, I read the Bible and fully believe even Mary would be (probably is) embarrassed at the attention focused on her more than at her Son.
As an ancient Roman civilization enthusiast, I believe that the cult of Mary was encouraged as the cultures of that time had a similar mother goddess and child, the same as Christian holidays overlapped pagan ones.
I believe you are correct sir. If I am not mistaken, the worship of Mary and baby Jesus, started with Semiramis, the wife of Nimrod, and her son Tammuz. The first unholy “trinity.” The queen of heaven was also mentioned in the book of Jeremiah. The names of Semiramis and Tammuz changed, where languages and cultures changed, but I think the original “Mary and Jesus,” was Semiramis and Tammuz. I am thinking, this was the kind of thinking that Paul and the others had to go up against, when sent by Jesus, to preach the gospel. 👎
