Holy snakes of Virgin Mary (The miracle) [1/2]

[aresnikoff]

Mark 16:17-18 (King James Version) 17And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

WOW! This is truly amazing. I wonder where these beautiful creatures come from. Miracles need no explanation I suppose. :-) Thank you for sharing this video.

@GoddessinBloom Such a beautiful creature is supposed to have tempted Eve to eat from the forbidden fruit...

[gypsymagicdancer]

In Asia, many deities stand astride an animal as a "vehana" or vehicle. A vehicle transports the deity...perhaps the foot of the Virgin is stepping astride to be carried? Snakes represented wisdom and Elizabeth the first is depicted with one in a portrait....

i am greek and here in greece we have a great respect about this annual miracle.the snakes have the sign of the cross on the top of their heads and on their tails.

Intresting this myth about these snakes...good vid : )

[j0j0joanna]

Its not a myth they're real lol ;)

[EVEntially]

Kinda odd as well I think if memory serves me corect the Virgin mary crushes the snake under her foot as dipicted by some Roman catholic statues of blessed virgin!!The serpent in the garden of eden etc...has played havoc with our perception of snakes!! don't think I can ever view them as holy or respresenting such!! However certainly very interesting vid

[thetechnosaikaly]

god made all creation good. but the creation turned bad by the fall of adam and eve. its true that snakes are not good, but within the church and holy places, those animals are no longer harmful because holy places restores them to the pre fall times. even if u read saints stories you willl notice that some of them was friends with wild animals...
