The Virgin Mary

And a great sign appeared in heaven:  a woman clothed with sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.  And being with child . . . she brought forth a male child, who is to rule all nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to his throne. . . . And the dragon was angered at the woman, and went away to wage war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God, and hold fast the testimony of Jesus.--Revelations 12:1-2,5,17.

I [the Lord] will put enmity between you [the serpent] and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; He [and/or She in Hebrew] will strike at your head, while you strike at his [and/or her in Hebrew] heal.--Genesis 3:15.
