Since Mary was born sinless then her mother must have been without sin and her mother before her ....ect. Since Mary is in the lineage of David and David sinned ... so just wondering ....
Not to throw more fuel on the fire but I have a question:

There is a relic of one worn by the “thinking saint” but it is only the button on top.
Protestant thinking caps are about as rare but there are no relics for some reason.
A good question. The answer is "no". Mary’s preservation from original sin was accomplished in anticipation of her Son’s redemptive work. Therefore, Jesus is also Mary’s Savior. Because of what he would do on the cross, this grace was given to her early. The gracious character of this blessing is also the reason that Anne and Joachim did not need to have it: It was a grace God could give to anyone at any time. He chose to give it to Mary to make her a fitting mother for his Son.
This grace was not given to Anne and Joachim because it was not fitting for them to have the same precise graces as Christ’s own mother, who bore him in her womb. No doubt they were very blessed in many ways, but not as blessed as their daughter.
Nah...
She was SPECIAL enough on her own that GOD created her sinless.
