A reflection by St. Peter Chrysologus The two sisters of Lazarus “sent a message to Jesus saying, Lord, the friend whom you love is sick”. These words contain an appeal to Jesus’ love and friendship. They implicitly ask him to come and heal Lazarus because of that friendship and Jesus’ special relation with the family. But for Christ it was more important to conquer death than to prevent it by curing disease. He showed his love for his friend not by healing him but by calling him back from death and from the grave.

If citing, you are advised to consult the published version for pagination, volume/issue and date of publication Education and pleasure in the early church: perspectives from the East and West Morwenna Ludlow and Sophie Lunn-Rockliffe 1. Introduction In the late fourth century, Maximus, bishop of Turin, returned to his congregation after a few days’ absence, probably to attend a church council. He began his sermon by promising to preach ‘something richer’, to ‘refresh’ them ‘with a sweet sermon’, after returning from what he memorably calls ‘such a swarm of bishops’. ‘That’s right’, Maximus continued: ‘I said “a swarm of bishops”, since like the bee they produce delightful honey from the blossoms of divine scriptures, and whatever pertains to the medicine of souls they make by the skill of their mouth.’1 The arresting image of bishops working like busy bees to distil the Bible into delicious sweetness, introduces our subject: the role of pleasure in education in the late antique, post-Constantinian church. The so-called ‘Fathers of the Church’ sometimes appear rather austere. Ambrose, bishop of Milan in the late fourth century, counselled his fellow clergy to avoid all kinds of jokes; although at times honourable and pleasant, they were, he said, ‘quite at odds with the rule of the church.’2 But Christian teachers and preachers also had a lively awareness of the psychological aspects of pedagogy, and of the power of pleasure and delight to persuade, move, instruct, and even convert.

SL 29 (1999) 145-58 Did Ambrose's Sister Become a Virgin on December 25 or January 67 The Earliest Western Evidence for Christmas and Epiphany outside Rome by Martin F. Connell* The advent of both Christmas and Epiphany into Latin Christianity hap­ pened over a rather short period of time; except for the church of Rome, it was less than a few decades from absence to the virtual omnipresence of both feasts. Yet the evidence available for putting together the chronology of the introduction and reception of the two is rather spotty, with sporadic clues emerging in apparent isolation from one another. In studies of the evidence, clues are usually drawn from places and literary genres as diverse as a secular history of an emperor's visit to Paris; I a North African sermont- Spanish conciliar decrees; and sermons, a letter on virginity, and a heresiology, all coming from northern Italy.
