"Touching that which is holy would desecrate it"
Would someone please give the citation for this proposition?
The Holy of Holies in the Temple was only for the High Priest. No one else dared enter that special place of the sanctuary. Mary's womb is considered a taberacle. It was cleansed by the Holy Spirit and made pure. Christ is the High Priest. No one else was to occupy that womb.

When I was GUESSING at what Kosta meant, I thought it could have been along the lines of:
Num. 4:15 : "After Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy furnishings and all the holy articles, and when the camp is ready to move, the Kohathites are to come to do the carrying. But they must not touch the holy things or they will die. The Kohathites are to carry those things that are in the Tent of Meeting.
We saw what happened to Uzzah after touching the Ark in 2 Samuel 6:6-7. I thought maybe Kosta was implying that the reason for God's reaction was a desecration of the holy thing. But I was just speculating. In any event, I don't see how this could possibly apply to a person, especially Mary (or Jesus for that matter). It's not possible that both never embraced, hugged, kissed, another for their entire lives. For one thing we know that Jesus invited Thomas to touch Him. We also have 1 John 1:1. There must be many more examples.
