The phrase Woman of the Apocalypse refers to a character from the Book of Revelation 12:1-10. She is described as being "arrayed in heavenly splendor, a crown of twelve stars on her head and the sun and moon under her feet[1] She is described as wearing a white dress and blue mantle while crushing a serpent under her foot.[2] She is often associated with the Virgin Mary[2]; the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe, for one, has been described as a represention of the Woman of the Apocalypse.[3]
