The Lamp Of The Incarnation


Τὴν ἔνσαρκον οἰκονομίαν λύχνον φησιν· ἡ γὰρ τοῦ Θεοῦ σοφία τὸν εἰρημένον ἄψασα λύχνον ηὗρε τὴν δραχμὴν τὴν ἀπολωλυϊαν.

Ἅγιος Νειλος, Βιβλιον Πρῶτον, Ἐπιστολὴ ΣΝΘ', Ναυκρατιῳ

Migne 79 177-180 
He speaks of the dispensation of the incarnation as a lamp, for the wisdom of God is said to be a blazing lamp seeking the lost drachma. 1

Saint Nilus of Sinai, Book 1, Letter 259 To Naukratios

1 Lk 15.8-9
