Feast of the Purification of Our Lady (Candlemas)

"I have been amazed that some are utterly in doubt as to whether or not the holy Virgin is able to be called the Mother of God. For if our Lord Jesus Christ is God, how should the holy Virgin who bore him not be the Mother of God?"
--Saint Cyril of Alexandria in Letter to the Monks of Egypt 1, A.D. 427.
