God And Man

Ὥσπερ παρθενευούσης της φύσεως ό τόκος τοῦ Κυρίου γεγένηται, καὶ ἡ πρόοδος τῆς σαρκώσεως τῇ ἀγνείᾳ μείωσιν οὐκ ἐποίησεν· οὕτως ἐσφραγισμένου τοῦ μνήματος, ή ἀνάστασις γέγονε· θεοῦ γὰρ ένανθρωπήσαντος τὰ ἀμφότερα.

Ἅγιος Ἰσίδωρος Του Πηλουσιώτου, Βιβλιον Πρῶτον, Ἐπιστολή ΥΔ', Θεοδοσιῳ Διακονῳ

Source: Migne PG 78.408c
As the birth of the Lord did not trouble the nature of Virginity and the Incarnation did not bring detriment to the purity of the flesh, so it is with the sealing of the tomb and the Resurrection: both speak of God and man.

Saint Isidore of Pelusium, Book 1, Letter 404, To Theodosius the Deacon
