As a pastor, I get to perform my fair share of weddings. I’ve done them for years. In fact, I’ve officiated weddings for couples whose parents I also married. One of my favorite experiences when I perform a wedding is to go into the bridal room and pray with the bride and her bridesmaids before the ceremony.
How can a virgin have a baby?
A new birth in a royal family usually comes with great pomp and fanfare. There is massive media saturation and a lot of celebration. But not in this case.

No nursemaid helped with his diapers. The few gifts He received would come much later.
