A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet. And on her head a crown of twelve stars." -Revelation 12:1
The Church understands Mary to be the new Eve, “the mother of all the living” in Christ (Chi-Rho, the first letters of this name in Greek), source of sacramental life in the church. Seven streams flow from his sacramental fountain. Holy Mary is both Mother of the Church and Mother of Grace; she stands with the moon and the serpent under her feet.
