Mary stepping on the serpent symbolizes her role in defeating Satan, representing the victory of good over evil. Based on Genesis 3:15, this imagery portrays Mary as the "New Eve" who, through her obedience in bearing Jesus, crushes the head of the devil, undoing the disobedience of the first Eve.
Key Symbolism and Interpretations: Obedience
The "New Eve": While Eve disobeyed God, Mary’s "yes" (fiat) to God allowed the Savior to enter the world, directly opposing the serpent's influence.
Genesis 3:15 (Protoevangelium): The prophecy promises that the woman and her offspring will crush the serpent's head, interpreted as Mary's unique, subordinate participation in her Son Jesus' victory over sin and death.
Victory of Good over Evil: The serpent represents Satan or the Devil, and Mary treading on it highlights her role in the ongoing spiritual battle.
Devotional Meaning: It symbolizes her as a powerful intercessor and protector under whose mantle believers find safety from evil.
Though Jesus is the ultimate victor, Catholic theology views Mary as intimately sharing in this triumph due to her role as the Mother of God.
"I will put enmity between you and the woman" (from Genesis 3:15) means God established an ongoing, fundamental hostility between Satan (the serpent) and humanity (the woman/her offspring) after the Fall in Eden, initiating a spiritual war where humanity's "seed" (especially Christ) would ultimately defeat the serpent, though Satan would wound humanity's "heel" (Jesus' crucifixion). This enmity signifies the great divide between evil and good, believers and unbelievers, and the ongoing spiritual battle between God's people and Satan's forces.
