"Just as Eve, wife of Adam, yet still a virgin...became by her disobedience, the cause of death for herself and the whole human race, so Mary, too, espoused yet a virgin, became by her obedience the cause of salvation for herself and the whole human race...And so it was that the knot of Eve's disobedience was loosed by Mary's obedience."

Saint Irenaeus, Bishop of Lyon, Late Second Century
