It's a Epiphany Church Fathers/Virgin Mary Festival of Links

Ah this is so great. Plenty of Sunday reading for you today. How wonderful for the Epiphany . The Church of the Fathers blog at Have a Mary Epiphany has all this:

Danny Garland’s made another splash, this time with an essay titled The Church Fathers’ Marian Interpretation of the Old Testament It’s worth your time.
While you’re on the subject, check the progress on Suburban Banshee’s gradual transcription of Thomas Livius’s great work
The Blessed Virgin in the Fathers of the First Six Centuries (Said Banshee has also returned to her translation of Prudentius. Gaudete et laetare.)
There’s much good work appearing on the Fathers’ Marian doctrine. The best place to begin is Luigi Gambero’s
Mary and the Fathers of the Church: The Blessed Virgin Mary in Patristic Thought An interesting second stop is Stephen J. Shoemaker’s The Ancient Traditions of the Virgin Mary’s Dormition and Assumption, which analyzes documentary and archeological material — and provides abundant documentation.

Go to his post and check out those links as well as the rest of his wonderful blog
