Cyril
Bishop of Jerusalem, 386
Cyril is the one we have most to thank for the development of catechetical instruction and liturgical observances during Lent and Holy Week. Born in Jerusalem about 315, Cyril became bishop of that city probably in 349. In the course of political and ecclesiastical disputes, he was banished and restored three times. His on the Christian faith, given before Easter to candidates for Baptism, were probably written by him sometime between 348 and 350.
