Because Jesus was to be born of an immaculate vessel, Mary was born without the stain of Original sin.

So, because she was born sinless and without stain, she was not subject to the curse of Eve who did sin.

It seems like it’s always men who are very concerned about this. This fits with their general discomfort with all the natural processes of women’s bodies, not just childbirth.

"This verse is the basis for the Catholic teaching that Mary experienced no pain when she delivered Christ at Bethlehem. The Roman Catechism teaches that Christ passed through her "as sunlight passes through glass."

it is also foundational in our belief in Her sinlessness. It was through the sins of Eve that mankind would be brought into the world in pain (Gen 3:16).

Peace be with you.

So in other words, what I had seen in the movie, “The Nativity”, the birth of Christ scene was in error?

So is this what must be believed and accepted by all Christians or just what is taught for Catholics?

Thank-you for your answers, God Bless, and have a good and blessed Merry Christmas. :)
