Patristic Quote of the Day

When the animals resound with praise, that is, when the Evangelists preach and celebrate the dispensation of Christ… the twenty-four elders, that is, the whole church, that is, the leaders and the people, immediately fall on their faces and adore him who lives forever and ever… By casting their crowns before the throne, they are ascribing to God whatever they possess of virtue and dignity.—St. Victorinus of Petovium
