“No one can describe His body generation. No one can point to a father who begot Him in the flesh, because His body did not come from a man, but from the Virgin alone.”
Athanasius, On the Incarnation of the Word 37; PG 25, 160; ed. Thomson (Oxford Claredon Press, 1971).
Jesus Christ’s generation and birth are mysteries. As he is God that performs wonders. His wonders still amaze us to this day.
