Juno Savior of Women

Juno the Goddess of Rome

In ancient Roman religion, the Goddess Juno was worshiped by women in the Roman Empire. Her festival was Matronalia and celebrated on March 1. 

She had various titles:

Juno Lucina - Goddess of childbirth

Juno Moneta - Goddess of good counsel and money

Juno Sospita - Savior of women in distress

Juno Regina - Queen of heaven 

Vergil and other Roman poets identify her as the Greek Hera who hated the Trojans.

The Bible mentions a lot regarding "Idolatry"

1 Corinthians 10:14 - Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.

1 Samuel 15:23 - For rebellion [is as] the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness [is as] iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from [being] king.

Colossians 3:5 - Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

Galatians 5:20 - Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

Acts 17:16 - Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.
