>Tell me you're a virgin without telling me you're a virgin
That's the actual dogma. Go look it up. Icons of Mary have three stars on her cloak to represent the three aspects of her virginity.

"Again, in the iconic tradition, in almost all images of Mary that one finds throughout history, she is depicted wearing three stars on her maphorion (or the garment that covers her head and shoulders). These starts are the artistic evocation of her threefold virginity: before, during, and after the birth of Christ."
--"The Orthodox Church" by John Anthony McGuckin
