The Woman of the Apocalypse
The Woman of the Apocalypse is a mysterious figure who appears in the Book of Revelation. She is often identified with the Virgin Mary, but she can also be seen as a symbol of the Church or of Israel.
The Woman gives birth to a male child who is threatened by a dragon, who intends to devour the child as soon as he is born. When the child is taken to heaven, the Woman flees on eagle's wings into the wilderness. This leads to a "War in Heaven" in which the angels cast out the dragon.
The dragon attacks the Woman again and again, but she always escapes. Finally, the dragon initiates war on "the remnant of her seed", identified as the righteous followers of Christ.
The Woman of the Apocalypse is a powerful and inspiring figure who represents the victory of good over evil. She is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, hope always prevails.
