Usually it's just referred to as the virgin birth. Catholics might have a special name for it, though - you'll have to ask Gwai. I think the extra-Biblical concept of Mary being conceived without a sin nature was given a special name ("immaculate conception") because it was a concept unique (as far as I know) to the Catholic church. It's certainly not mentioned in the Bible. I'd really be surprised if it IS the same phrase for both things in Dutch, because the two things are very different!
