Patristic Quote of the Day

Scripture again witnesses that the space of those three days did not imply whole days in their entirety. Rather, the first day is counted as whole from its last part, and the third day is itself counted as a whole from its first part; but the intervening day, i.e., the second day, was absolutely whole with its 24 hours, 12 of the day and 12 of the night.—St. Augustine, On the Trinity 4
