Christmas, in the religious sense at least, centers on one basic tenet
of Christian belief: that Jesus was conceived by the power of the Holy
Spirit and born to a virgin mother.

A recent Pew poll found that about three-quarters of Americans believe
in the Virgin Birth.

Â*Â*But stories of miraculous conception aren't unique to Christianity.
Unconventional births can be found far outside the manger in
mythologies and religious traditions from ancient Egypt to the Aztec
empire; they've even become part of Civil War lore.

It has happened.Â* A girl in high school got pregnant from stuff on the
toilet seat.Â* She said she never had sex.

Was her name Mary, by any chance?
