Cyril of Jerusalem (Greek: ???????? ?? ?e??s???µ??, Kýrillos A Ierosolýmon; Latin: Cyrillus Hierosolymitanus) was a distinguished theologian of the early Church (c.
313 – 386 AD).
He is venerated as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodox Church and the Anglican Communion.
In 1883, Cyril was declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope Leo XIII.
He is highly respected in the Palestinian Christian Community. About the end of 350 AD he succeeded Maximus as Bishop of Jerusalem, but was exiled on more than one occasion due to the enmity of Acacius of Caesarea, and the policies of various emperors.
Cyril left important writings documenting the instruction of catechumens and the order of the Liturgy in his day.
