What temple virgins? Mary’s comment at Luke 1:34 was a statement that she had not had intercourse, had carnal knowledge, with a man so how was this pregnancy to occur. Her question has nothing to with imaginary temple virgins despite Marshall’s blog and misinformation (to be gentle).
Both Mary and Joseph’s conduct is quite understndable without resorting to these tales like the Evangelium. Mary as some sort of temple virgin is a fable pulled from the air. Not one word in the inspired account suggests such a thing. But temple virgins did exist for the pagans.
