which died out in the Middle Ages - was revived by Pope Paul VI in 1970.There are currently 3,500 consecrated virgins worldwide, with around 230 in the US.To become a consecrated virgin, you must be a mature woman who has never had sex - although no physical examinations are carried out to prove if this is the case.In other words, widows or women who have lived with a sexual partner (ie, in a 'highly visible' state of unchastity) cannot become consecrated virgins.But women who have been victims of sexual abuse may still be consecrated, since victimhood is not considered to be a violation of chastity or a sin.Other consecrated plus size mother of the bride dresses virgins in the United States include Julie Pasteur, 66, a lawyer and Former US Army captain from Racine, Wisconsin, and coffee-shop owner Eileen Belongea from Waukesha, Wisconsin.Bishop Rhoades places a wedding ring on Jessica's finger to symbolize she is married to Christ The Bishop said: 'It seems most appropriate that Jessica gives herself totally to Jesus, is consecrated to a life of virginity'Saturday's ceremony was conducted by Bishop Kevin C.Rhoades at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception.He said: 'It seems most appropriate that Jessica gives herself totally to Jesus, is consecrated to a life of virginity.Hundreds of people attended the service -
