Catholics: Why is the Virgin Mary, so often represented at the entrances of caves?
A cave is like the womb, Mary, the Mother of God is the cosmic womb or Goddess of all things to come. The goddess is alive and well, even in Christianity, but most Christians do not know.
EDIT: As you can tell I'm not Catholic.
To commemorate his appearance at Lourdes, France. She appeared in a grotto (cave) to the peasant girl, Bernadette Soubirous in the mid-nineteenth century. She told Bernadette that "The Immaculate Conception" and we must dig a cave near the water. Bernadette did digging and all the people thought I was crazy, but a spring of water appeared. Many people have been cured by the miracle of healing water. The Catholic Church is verified and formally declared a miracle.
Hey! That the pagans and their caves and holes in the ground! Does everything have to be about sex? We can not have something pure and bright? Virgin queens are assumed to be at the top of the pedestal, no - oh, look at what made me think!
Since Jesus was born in a cave as a habitat, not a barn or stable as shown in the famous Christmas.
I see the sexual innuendo there, and I think it is hilarious.
Oh … er .. I mean .. Good question.
