What is dying? Just what it is to put off a garment. For the body is about the soul as a garment; and after laying this aside for a short time by means of death, we shall resume it again with more splendor.
Saint John Chrysostom, Sir George Prevost (1856). “Homilies: On the Statutes, or, To the people of Antioch. 1856”, p.100
