“Through you, the only begotten Son of God shone forth as a light upon those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death. Through you, the prophets made their predictions, and the apostles preached salvation to the nations; through you the dead rise, sovereigns reign, and through you the Holy Trinity reigns.
Cyril of Alexandria, Homily IV Preached at Ephesus against Nestorius; PG 77, 992-96.
But who among men is capable of celebrating Mary most glorious?”
