This is edging rather high on the creepy question scale. And i can’t really see how it matters at all to the truth of Christian theology. Does it say anywhere in the Bible that it was a painless birth?

I agree, this topic is rather creepy. Why even discuss the condition of Mary's hymen?

Very creepy post borderlining on preverted.

The Early Church Fathers are almost unanimous in the assertion that the birth was painless and had no loss of Mary’s virginal integrity during the birth. In other words, her Hymen didn’t break. St. Augustine said “Jesus passed through the womb of Mary as a ray of sun passes through glass.” Pope Martin in 649 AD defined the doctrine that Mary:
The early Church Fathers argues a lot of very absurd things.This ranks with how many angels can fit on the head of a pin. It has nothing to do with anything . Many of these early Church Fathers lost themselves in matters and arguements that took them into areas that had nothing to do with the spiritual nature of things.
