An attack against Mary being the Queen of Heaven ANSWERED!

Another art that shows the coronation of Mary.

The blessed Virgin Mary is the queen of heaven. But other Christian denomination (especially the Protestant) is attacking the Queen of Heaven with this verse:
Jeremiah 7 (American Standard Version)

[18] The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
That verse is used to attack the blessed Virgin Mary as the Queen of Heaven. But, sadly, Yahweh didn't mention the blessed Virgin Mary here. The proofs that God is not mentioning Mary as the queen of heaven in the verse are:

  • The Blessed Virgin Mary is not mentioned straight in the Old Testament. Only signs for the Blessed Virgin Mary are shown.
  • God didn't ever mention the Blessed Virgin Mary in the verse.
Then, who is the queen of heaven in that verse? Wikipedia says:

The Book of Jeremiah written circa 628 BC possibly refers to Asherah when it uses the title "queen of heaven" in chapters 7 and 74.
The "queen of heaven" there is not the blessed Virgin Mary. It's Asherah, an Egyptian goddess.

Prayer to Mary, the Queen of Heaven.

Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Queen of heaven, rejoice. Alleluia. The Son whom you were privileged to bear, Alleluia, has risen as he said, Alleluia. Pray to God for us, Alleluia. Rejoice and be glad, Virgin Mary, Alleluia. For the Lord has truly risen, Alleluia.

O God, it was by the Resurrection of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, that you brought joy to the world. Grant that through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, his Mother, we may attain the joy of eternal life. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
