The "Gospel of James" is a very early Christian fanfic (2nd century). It's the main source of the legend that Jesus's mother was a perpetual virgin - there's no basis for that in the Bible.

Anyway, here's the fun bit:

Right after delivery, a skeptical midwife tries to examine the "virgin" Mary gynecologically. Her hands burn off. Then Mary forgives her, and an angel descends with a fresh pair of replacement hands!

This illustration of the story is from France c.1480.

I look forward to hosting Rebecca Jackson at the School of #HealthSciences next week. In addition to exploring potential for collaboration, she will give a talk 👇

I want to plug two papers in particular:
"Cervical measurements were taken primarily to influence the female body and control labor outcomes"
