If you give birth to Christ, you're on your own

Insurance company drops policy that would have paid £1 million to one of three sisters if they conceived Jesus immaculately.

The burden of proof that it was Christ had rested with the women and any premium on the insurance was donated to charity, said Mr Burgess.

The siblings had paid £100 annually since 2000. If they had secured a payout, they stood to receive £1m.

He added: "The Catholic Church is up in arms about what we've been doing. We have withdrawn the cover because it was causing a furore.

"The three ladies have been informed."
