“Wherefore our Lord Jesus Christ was born in a manger, and raised in a house; but once He was grown He did not have a place to lay His head. This was so you might be instructed not to gape after the glittering things of this life, but rather to be a lover of simplicity everywhere, to pursue poverty, to flee from over-abundance, and to adorn yourself within.”
(St John Chrysostom,  on  ‘Priscilla and Aquila’)
