Miriam ben Joachim, espoused by Joseph the Righteous, was a virgin before, during and after the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. Her image is to be found in Rev. 12:1.

In hindsight we see her very differently from how she was almost certainly viewed at the time. Imagine being her contemporary at a time before Christianity and Jesus was just “some guy”.

Read the article ... he does explain his comment. Remember that Joseph wanted to divorce her, until the Angel told him otherwise.
