About St. Cyril
Saint Cyril of Jerusalem was born around the year 315 in or near Jerusalem during the era of Constantine the Great. It was Constantine who legalized Christianity. During this period a great heresy arose. Arianism, named after Arius of Alexander, asserted that Jesus Christ is not truly divine or one in being with the Father. This created great divisions within the Church. In fact, eager for unity and peace, Constantine called the Council of Nicea (the first ecumenical council) to help resolve the controversy. The bishops issued a creed to safeguard orthodox Christian belief. Arius refused to sign the creed so he was declared a heretic. Unfortunately, the controversy did not end with this council. Cyril became a victim of many of the power struggles that took place and was removed from his office of Bishop three times. Read More
