Even if there is no tearing, they go through extreme physical pain. This is a consequence of the Fall, as it was explained to Eve after she ate of the fruit.<br /><br />The Orthodox Church claims that Mary gave birth "without corruption" (no damage) and is therefore a virgin before, during and after childbirth.

But what is meant with "and there is no damage to her womb"? I don't recall anything smiler in danish regarding Mary, and my wife have born two boys with nu "damage" to the womb, so what don't I get – realizing it's just me not getting it :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
