The Immaculate Conception is the Catholic dogma that the Mother of God, the Blessed Virgin Mary, was conceived in her mother's womb without the stain of original sin. A lot of folks mistakenly confuse the Immaculate Conception with the Virgin Birth of Jesus.
The virgin birth is set down in the Bible as a historical fact. The writers who recorded the story were Matthew â an eyewitness to the events in the life of Jesus â and Luke, the doctor, who presents things in the life of Christ from the viewpoint of his mother, Mary.
