Notice Mary’s one hand outstretched in a way similar to the position of the mosaic depicting Christ. This appears to depict Mary as authoritative teacher and apostle and role model for women’s baptismal equality in Christ.
These mosaics below draw a powerful example of mutual partnership in ministry. See parallel between apostles being led to Christ and the women martyrs being led by the magi to Mary.
