Text
Ephrem Syrus, Hymns on Nativity 23.13:
All these changes did the Merciful One make, stripping off (glory) and putting on (a body); for He had devised a way to reclothe Adam in that glory which Adam had stripped off. He was wrapped with swaddling clothes, corresponding to Adam’s leaves, He put on clothes instead of Adam’s skins; he was baptized for Adam’s sin, he was embalmed for Adam’s death, He rose and raised up Adam in his glory. Blessed is He who descended, put Adam on and ascended.
