Two Mothers

Τυπικῶς ἡ πρώτη Εὖα ζωὴ ἐκλήθη, ἴνα σημάνῃ τὴν δευτέραν, τουτέεστι, τὴν ἁγίαν Μαρίαν τὴν γεννήσασαν τὴν ζωὴν τῶν ἀνθρώπων Χριστὸν τὸν Κύριον τῆς δόξης. Αὕτη γὰρ ἀληθῶς μήτηρ δείκνυται πάντων τῶν εὐαγγελικῶς ζώντων, καὶ μὴ ἀποθνησκόντων τὰς ψυχὰς διὰ τῆς ἀπιστίας. Ἅγιος Νειλος, Βιβλιον Πρῶτον, Ἐπιστολὴ ΣΞϚ' Κυριλλῳ Προτευοντι

As a figure the first Eve life was named, 1 by which may be shown the second, that is, the Holy Mary who birthed the life of men Christ, the Lord of Glory. For she truly is a mother of all those who live according to the Gospel, and not of those whose souls have perished on account of lack of faith. Saint Nilus of Sinai, Book 1, Letter 266, To the Primate Cyrllius 1 Gen 2.19
