      It doesn’t matter. Jesus’s mum never existed and was concocted from other mythological legends of the time. What matters is that today it is interpreted as she being a literal virgin, regardless of the original intent.

        But really, people think that Mary was “without sin” meaning she didn’t have sex. But actually it means that she didn’t inherit the origin sin of humanity, committed by Adam and Eve. I was raised Catholic and took me more than 30 years to learn this.
