Was Mary the Mother of Jesus a Vestal Virgin?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestal_Virgin
Vestals were priestesses of Ancient Rome who tended the Sacred Flame in the Temple of Vesta. They were pure and could not become pregnant (it was a crime), and must maintain this purity for 30+ years. They had special rights and may appear to have supernatural powers attributed to them. Vestals typically retired with a state pension, in their late 30s to early 40s, and thereafter were free to marry.
Now if Mary the Mother of Christ was a Vestal Virgin (the “Virgin Mary”) and she became pregnant before her retirement, the child would be sacrificed to the Gods as punishment for violating her chastity. She was running from the Law when she married Joseph. Why is no one asking this question?
