Mary as Queen of Heaven and the Book of Jeremiah.

Another art of the Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

I saw another attack against the Blessed Virign Mary being the Queen of Heaven. Protestants are using this verse to attack the Blessed Virgin Mary:

"The children gather wood, the fathers kindle fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour out drink-offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger." - Jeremiah 7:18 (NRSV-CE)

The title "queen of heaven" used here is different from the Queen of Heaven (which is the Blessed Virgin Mary).  The queen of heaven mentioned there in the verse is not the Virgin Mary. If the Virgin Mary is not the queen of heaven here then who? According to Wikipedia...

Quoted from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asherah

The Book of Jeremiah written circa 628 BC possibly refers to Asherah when it uses the title "queen of heaven" in chapters 7 and 44.

Here are some reasons why the Blessed Virgin Mary is not the queen of heaven on Jeremiah chapter 7:

• The Virgin Mary is not mentioned straight in the Old Testament.
• It refers to goddess Asherah not the Blessed Virgin Mary.
• Mary is not a goddess.
• Even the name "Mary" didn't appear on the Old Testament (in the Douay-Rheims, the name Mary refers to prophet Miriam)

That's all for now. Be blessed :)

Prayer to Mary, Queen of Heaven.

The Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Queen of heaven, rejoice. Alleluia. The Son whom you were privileged to bear, Alleluia, has risen as he said, Alleluia. Pray to God for us, Alleluia. Rejoice and be glad, Virgin Mary, Alleluia. For the Lord has truly risen, Alleluia. 

O God, it was by the Resurrection of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, that you brought joy to the world. Grant that through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, his Mother, we may attain the joy of eternal life. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
