T(r)oy's Marbles
the mystery of Christ
"...he both wore the crown of thorns and undid the sentence of the thorns...Seraphim would not look on him, and Pilate interrogated him. A servant struck him, and creation trembled before him. While nailed on the cross, he did not leave his throne; while shut in the tomb, he was stretching out the heavens like a curtain; while numbered with the dead, he was plundering Hades. Below he was accused as a deceiver; above he was praised as a holy one. What a mystery! Beholding the miracles, I extol the deity; seeing the sufferings, I cannot deny the humanity."
--from Proclus, Sermon I (5th century)
