Questions From a Protestant

[☦Marius☦]

Thank you. And that makes a lot of sense. Like iron man for instance. Please forgive me if this simpleton analogy is blasphemous. He's technically a regular person but there is no doubt he is a hero. Everyone can be a hero but there is no doubt that he is one himself.

I don't think it would be blasphemous. After all saints aren't God. What we honor in them is the work of God within their hearts. That is what the halo in iconography represents, the nature of Christ shining through them. So when we praise a saint, or the Theotokos or anyone else, we are really praising the work God has shown in them.
