		One of the beautiful texts of Saint Melito of Sardis leads us to a similar understanding: "He is the voiceless lamb himself, the lamb who was slain, born of Mary the kind ewe lamb,....he rose from the dead and raised man from the depth of the grave" (On Easter, 71, 11.513-520).
		Just as was the case with Ignatius of Antioch, Melito's thought seems to be: the kind and (good) ewe lamb gave birth to the Lamb so that He might raise us up spiritually by rising bodily from the grave.
		In Melito's wonderful poem, Mary alone is called the ewe lamb, and for a good reason: she, alone, brought forth the unique Lamb of God.
