Blessed art thou of the most high God above all the women upon the earth;
and blessed be the Lord God, which hath created the heavens and the
earth, which hath directed thee to the cutting off of the head of the
chief of our enemies. ... Thou hast done all these things by thine hand:
thou hast done much good to Israel, and God is pleased therewith: blessed
be thou of the Almighty Lord for evermore. And all the people said, So be
it. (Judith 13, 18-20; 15,10)
There appeared a great sign in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with
the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
(Revelations 12,1)
