The Queen of Heaven Isis Come Back: The Mary Worship in Christianity

Abstract

The name Mary in Ancient Egypt, where the written word was mr, means the beloved. Isis and Mary are in essence the same goddess and the same embody the aspect of the divine mother. For this reason, to the Christians who destroyed Isis's temples and killed her devotees, but in spite of this, Isis lives on the belief and cult of Mary. Thus Mary is also known as 'star of the sea' while Isis was given a similar title of 'Pelagia' meaning 'star of the ocean'. Another title Mary shares with Isis is 'Queen of Heaven' (also a title of lshtar or lnanna). Isis reflects by her goddess status as the ruler of all while Mary represents her exaltation and coronation in heaven as spouse of the Holy Spirit or the family of god.
