When he appeared in the Virgin’s womb, He clothed himself in condemnation. There occurred the tremendous exchange: He gave the Spirit; He received flesh; He was both with the Virgin and from the Virgin; with the Virgin in overshadowing her; from the Virgin in taking his flesh from her.
Proclus of Constantinople, Homily 1, 8; PG 65, 688 D-689 A.
