St. Ambrose speaking on the Blessed Virgin Mary as a type of the Church states: It was fitting that Mary should be espoused and yet a virgin, because she is the type of the Church which is spotless and yet married. For virginally she has conceived us in the spirit, and a virgin without pangs she has given us birth. - In Luke, II, n. 7. Further this Woman clothed with the sun, and with moon under her feet has traditionally been interpreted by numerous Church Fathers and saints as being the Most Blessed Virgin Mary for example St. Augustine (Tract. De Symbolo ad Catechumenos, Lib. IV, Cap. I; cap. I;) St. Bernard (Sermo Super Signum magnum, no. 3.), St. Epiphanius (Adv. Haeres. 78, 11.), etc.
