The Sun-Lady was the Mother of the Messiah: Mary as the Queen Asherah Mother of the Lord

 Sun with Wings - the Sun-Lady

Dr. Margaret Barker talk in link above....her claim is that Christians were trying to restore the First Temple worship of Asherah with Mary as the Mother of the Lord....this is corroborated by Michael E. Hudson's claim that the teaching of Jesus was to restore the Jubilee debt cancellation, the norm of ancient West Asian civilization.

 The blessing is provided typically by Yahweh and his Asherah in cooperation. A glimpse at Khirbet
el-Qom,13 about a century later and representing a Judean context, confirms the continuing relevance
of blessing, as well as the basic cooperation of the divine couple....Asherah was responsible for saving him during his life: 

  She is, so to speak, “the Yahweh from Samaria/Teman his Asherah”.

 Already since the second millennium BCE, the goddess
Asherah29 has a clearly traceable, close affinity to fertility, prosperity, and well-being in the Levant.
Therefore, it is entirely plausible, that Yahweh, as part of his identification with El, also takes over El’s
spouse, Asherah, and her blessing capability, as we saw in the inscriptions from Kuntillet ʿAjrud. Here,
Yahweh is obviously able to provide the blessing in a way that is convincing and effective for the persons
involved, only in a close joint venture with Asherah.
Subsequently however, an expansion of Yahweh’s capabilities takes place, which in fact leads not
only to an absorption of Asherah, but to her (nominal) elimination. Regardless of all regional, sociologi-
cal, and transmitter group-specific differentiations, Yahweh is seizing more and more of Asherah’s
blessing power. In official Judean religion of the late monarchical period, and from the exile onwards,
also in private religion, Yahweh operates completely without Asherah
