The "Sacred Heart of Jesus" and the "Most Immaculate
Heart of Mary" are both regarded as objects of veneration
for Catholics. Churches, feast days, and religious orders
are named for each. (19 days after Pentecost, and 22
August, respectively.)
So it might seem strange that there is no veneration
for
that most important of organs as far as the whole
Christianity story goes: the Womb of the Blessed Virgin.
(There is an indirect shoutout, of course, in the Ave
Maria: "Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is
the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.")
Hence, I suggest the establishment of a new order of
women religious, the Sisters of the Most Blessed Uterus
of the Mother of God, to be known informally as the
"Uterine Sisters."
This order would be tasked with the care of orphans and
unwed mothers, and with the provision of reproductive
education to young women and girls.
Of course, there may be other orders as well, related to
other parts of the Sanctified Reproductive System.

Oh, you mean the worship observance that lasts for one week every month... |

I don't know virgin Marys from shit, but I wouldn't
have expected her to have a uterus. Surely she
would just have had some sort of internal heavenly
cloud from which the baby cheeses emerged, without
all that mess? |
|
| |
I'm pretty sure that if this was islam, you'd be dead
by now for suggesting all that anatomy. And in any
case, who's the virgin Mary in islam? |
|
| |
There are numerous religious artefacts pertaining to bits of
human anatomy deposited at various locations around the
world. The head of Oliver Plunkett may be visited in
Drogheda in Ireland for example. Another idea begins to
form...... |
|
| |
There couldn't be any bodily relics of Mary, though, as
doctrine holds that she was Assumed bodily into Heaven... |

Are you sure you're not thinking of the Challenger

Regarding Maxwell's question regarding the Holy Birth,
here is a little-known text from the 10th century or so,
accredited to a Fra Lamazia: |
|
| |
"Preme, O virgo sancta, preme"
("Push, O Holy Virgin, push") |
|
| |
o virgo beata
immaculata
cervix minime dilata |
|
| |
o virgo beata
immaculata
cervix nunc dilata |
|
| |
contractio maior
nunc incipit dolor |
|
| |
contractiones celeriores
magnificant dolores |
|
| |
preme virgo sancta preme
preme virgo sancta preme
preme
preme
preme |

I think all these points were addressed by the Greek philosopher Epididymus. |
