Summary/Abstract: In Origen’s Commentaries on the Song of Songs, Holiness of the Church seems to be above all (if not exclusively) holiness of the “ecclesiastical souls” purged by their proximity to Christ. Although Origen presents the Church as “black and comely” bride he does not mean that she would be both holy and sinful, as it is the case in the works of some other Christian interpreters.
