“The Holy of Holies was a forbidden place because it was awaiting the Entry of the Virgin Mary

“The Holy of Holies was a forbidden place because it was awaiting the Entry of the Virgin Mary, who became God’s real Temple and gave it greater honor. The Virgin was not honored by that inaccessible place, but the place was honored by the entrance of the Virgin who was to become Christ’s mother.”
—St. Nicholas Cabasilas
