Light is the property of a star
Light is the property of a star, as simplicity and humility are the property of a holy and God-fearing man.
- St. Hesychios the Priest
Become a Hearer
If sometime, then, in a serene night, you gaze up at the ineffable beauty of the stars, you can form an idea of the creator of the universe, who has embroidered the sky with these flowers, and how in what you see neccessity takes form of the delightful: again, during the day, if you consider the wonders of the day with sober thought, and from what you see form an idea of what is invisible, you will become a hearer, fit and made ready for the fullness of this solemn and blessed theatre.
- St. Basil the Great
Christ is the morning star
Christ is the morning star, who when the night of this world has passed, brings to his saints the promised light of life, and opens to them everlasting day.
- St Bede, Monk of Jarrow
