the virgin

One without experience

The Virgin refers to Mary, mother of Jesus Christ in Christian tradition—called "virgin" because of the doctrine that she conceived Jesus without sexual intercourse.

The term appears in religious contexts, art history, and place names: a painting of the Virgin and Child, the Virgin Mary, the Virgin Islands.

In astrology, the Virgin is the zodiac sign Virgo.
