THEOSISAmbrose of Milan
On the second and third day, the father of the young girl insisted that his son-in-law remain until love and harmony prevailed between him and his wife.

The elder encouraged them to begin their journey at midday, so they could be strengthened with nourishment before setting out on the road.
