Part of a footnote on Leviticus 19:1-3 “That God is holy does not mean He is a rule-keeper or enforcer. There is no legalism with God. Israel was to be what He is. His people were to be holy as He is. Rule-keeping was not the end in view; being like God was.”

Gen 3:15
I wonder, there are many roman catholic depictions of Mary stepping on a serpent, but I'm not familiar with Orthodox equivalents. Is this because the Orthodox are more strict about the meaning of this verse? Is it only the seed of Eve—and, ultimately, the seed of the new Eve, Mary, namely Christ—who can be depicted in victory over Satan?
