Virgin birth

At the moment then when Sirius, the star from the East, by coming to the Meridian at midnight signalled the Sun's new birth, the Virgin was seen just rising on the Eastern sky - the horizon line passing through her centre. And many people think that this astronomical fact is the explanation of the very widespread legend of the Virgin-birth.

Many religions and traditions have myths about a virgin birth.

Oh, you never let the cat out? Then I suppose those kittens were a virgin birth.
