Why do some statues of Mary have a snake under her feet?
In religious art, the snake under Mary's feet symbolizes her victory over evil and sin, often alluding to the biblical passage in Genesis where it is written that the offspring of the woman (a reference to Mary) will crush the serpent's head.
