Twisted glory; until evening = before Immmanuel; wash + sunset = baptism / living bread

Cyril: …twisted, or also those somehow saying: ‘Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we die’ (1 Corinthians 15:32); and those dragging out the minds of the more unlearned toward the pleasure-loves in world. And unclean again and knowing how to defile those touching, or going near, according at least, I say, to the law of disposition, are those about whom all-wise Paul also somehow said: ‘If someone named a brother is a fornicator, or a drunkard, or a snatcher, or a greedy one, or an idolater, with such a one not even to eat-together.’ (1 Corinthians 5:11) Or do you not say that most fitting for the sacred and chosen race is the needing not to have become such evils, nor indeed to be mixed-together with those sick?

Palladius: Very much so.

Cyril: ‘So then he will be in uncleanness,’ (Galatians 4:4) he says, ‘whoever should touch these, until evening. He will not eat from the holy things unless he should wash his body with water, and the sun should set, and he will be clean, and then he will eat from the holy things, because it is his bread.’ (Leviticus 22:6–8) And besides these still he denies the eating of a carcass and beast-taken, as able sufficiently to defile. So then see, O Palladius, the putting-away of every filth, and release from charges, not otherwise becoming in us, except through Christ alone, and as in the time of the sojourn.

Palladius: How did you say?

Cyril: That everything before the sojourn of the Only-begotten is uncleaned and still in pollutions, and without share of life, he showed saying: ‘He will be unclean until evening, and will not eat from the holy things.’ (John 6:33–51) Or did Emmanuel not sojourn in the last times of the age?

Palladius: Yes; for clear is the word.

Cyril: And we have been made alive having eaten down the bread, the truly holy and from heaven, that is Christ, the time having come unto an end, and as it were a sun setting, and shutting the measure of time unto evening.

Palladius: Very much.

Cyril: In this way also until evening unclean is the polluted, and without share also of holy and life-making food, waiting the time of the cleansing. And having washed with water and with sun having set, clean, and having as own bread the from heaven. For as it were it has been apportioned to those sanctified through water, as in holy baptism, I mean, the being blessed through Christ; and indeed he himself is the living bread, and he himself again the one having come down from heaven, and giving life to the world. And that the setting of sun would mark the time of our Savior’s sojourn, you will know clearly, with God saying upon the lamb toward the hierophant Moses: ‘Speak to the sons of Israel, and let them take for themselves a sheep according to houses, and it will be, he says, kept from the tenth of the month until the fourteenth, and they will slaughter it, all the’ (Exodus 12:3–6)
