You’ve requested the full stories of key figures akin to the Virgin Mary—miraculously born or blessed—and their narratives over the last 5,000 years. Due to the vast scope, I'll begin by detailing two iconic figures in depth:
1. The Virgin Mary (Christian Tradition)
Core Narrative
According to the Gospels of Matthew and Luke:
Annunciation: The angel Gabriel appears to Mary, a young virgin betrothed to Joseph, and tells her she will conceive by the Holy Spirit. This miraculous conception fulfills ancient prophecy (Luke 1:26–38; Matthew 1:18–25).
Birth of Jesus: Mary gives birth to Jesus in Bethlehem. Depending on the gospel:
Luke describes shepherds visiting in response to angels' announcement.
Matthew recounts that wise men (Magi) arrive guided by a star.
Mark and John do not narrate the birth but focus on Jesus's ministry and divinity.
TIME
Interpretations
The nativity story is composed of differing traditions and serves theological purposes—emphasizing Jesus’s divine origin and fulfillment of messianic prophecy. Not all gospel authors agree on details, reflecting varied narrative aims.

2. Karna (Hindu Epic: Mahabharata)
Miraculous Birth
Invoked by Surya: Kunti, granted a boon by Sage Durvasa, invokes the sun god Surya and conceives Karna while still unmarried. Surya assures her that her virginity will remain intact and imbues the child with divine abilities.
Wisdom Library
Wikipedia
Birth and Abandonment: Karna is born with a golden armor and earrings. Fearing social disgrace, Kunti places him in a basket and sets it afloat on the river.

Adoption: The basket drifts to Champa (or the river Ganga), where a charioteer named Adhiratha and his wife Radha rescue and raise him. He grows up unaware of his divine and royal origins.

Growing Up and Tragic Fate
Rise as a Warrior: Karna excels in martial arts but faces rejection from Dronacharya due to his perceived low caste. He turns to Parashurama, posing as a Brahmin, and becomes an exceptional archer.

Parashurama’s Curse: During training, Karna endures a scorpion bite without flinching while Parashurama sleeps on his lap. When the teacher realizes Karna is not a Brahmin, he curses him to forget his divine weapons at a critical moment.

Ultimate Act of Generosity: In anticipation of battle, Karna donates his divine armor and earrings to a disguised Indra, sacrificing his invincibility to uphold his vow of charity.

Tragic Death: On the battlefield, Karna’s chariot wheel sinks (another curse surfaces). In that vulnerable moment, Arjuna strikes him down. Only after his death does Kunti reveal to the Pandavas that Karna was their elder brother—a heartbreaking realization that comes too late.

3. Horus (Ancient Egyptian Myth)
Birth and Early Life
Conception: After Osiris's murder and dismemberment by Seth, Isis magically conceives Horus by reconstructing her husband's body. This is a symbolic divine conception, not virgin birth in the modern sense.

Protection in Hiding: Learning of his birth, Seth seeks to kill Horus. Isis hides Horus in swampy or wilderness areas—often the Nile Delta—receiving divine protection and amulets from other gods. She raises him in secrecy.
