A virgin is a person who has never engaged in sexual intercourse. There are cultural and religious traditions which place special value and meaning on this condition, associated with notions of personal purity, honor and worth.

In traditional European folklore, virgins are said to be the only ones capable of subduing a unicorn. They can also walk through swarms of bees without getting stung and stare into the sun without coming to harm.

It is said that the virgin’s touch can heal the sick and bless the newly born, and that the blood of a virgin will bring forth beauty and youth.
