Virgin Birth

Orthodox Christian belief in the virginal (or immaculate) conception of Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit at work in the Virgin Mary. Roman Catholic dogma also asserts the perpetual virginity of Mary, teaching that she bore Jesus in a miraculous way so that she remained a virgin and subsequently had no other children; the brothers and sisters of Jesus, mentioned in the Gospels, are assumed to be Joseph's by a previous marriage.
