Exodus 12:11

A church father on this verse
“[The father of the prodigal son] orders the shoes to be brought out, for he who is about to celebrate the Lord's Passover, about to feast on the Lamb, ought to have his feet protected against all attacks of spiritual wild beasts and the bite of the serpent.”
Ambrose of Milan, 4th c. — Concerning Repentance 2.3.18
