The virgo Mary: Part II
. . . The Nexus magazine also states on page 20:Let’s see why they call her virgo, a young woman. Maybe they actually got something right which we’ve got wrong later on. We discover that the word translated to mean virgo, a young woman, was the old Hebrew word almah which meant “a young woman.” It had no sexual connotation whatever. Had Mary actually been physically virgo intacta, the Hebrew word used would have been bethula, not almah.
