What kind of swimsuit would the Virgin Mary wear?

One day, when I was about ten years old with no body to speak of, I decided to work on my tan in the backyard. My swimsuit was a hot pink one piece with bows on the side. My father was working in the garden as always. He looked pained and asked me if I thought the Virgin Mary would wear a swimsuit like that. I was ordered to change. I went inside and told my Bibi what my dad said. She swore in Arabic, crossed herself, and was horrified at the suggestion that the Virgin Mary would even wear a swimsuit.
