Idk it popped into my head as appropriate for expressing my mixed feelings for a mysterious inhuman child (resulting from a forced pregnancy) who looks like all the neighbors' kids. I like that it looks and sounds odd (though it's still namey to me). I probably wouldn't worry about them fitting in at school....googling...apparently traditionally foxglove can be associated with the Virgin Mary, fertility, secrets, riddles, protection of children from bewitchment, and wonder, plus disrespecting foxgloves provokes retaliation from fairies (and yes it is pretty and poisonous).Also foxes are tricksters.
at least it's immaculate conception, only instead of Jesus it's Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader, lol
Immaculate conception does not mean miraculously conceived without a human man. It refers to the Catholic teaching that Mary was conceived by her parents without original sin.
The movie does have 1 of the mom's as a virgin to be fair
A virgin becoming pregnant is not an immaculate conception. A child being conceived without original sin is an immaculate conception.
🤷‍♀️ and?
And I was responding to someone who does not understand the term immaculate conception. I was trying to give the proper definition. Problem?
