CYRIL, St, bishop of Jerusalem, born in that city about the year 315, succeeded Maximus in 350. He was afterwards deposed for the crime of exposing to sale the treasures of the church, and applying the money to the support of the poor during a great famine. Under Julian he was restored to his see, and was firmly established in all his old honours and dignities under Theodosius, in which he continued unmolested till his death, which happened in 386. The remains of this father consist only of twenty-three catecheses, and one letter to the Emperor Constantius.
