'''Saint Cyril of Alexandria''' (c. 376 – 27 June 444) was an Egyptian [[bishop]] and [[theologian]], celebrated as a Doctor of the [[Roman Catholic Church]] for his defense of Christological orthodoxy. Born in [[Alexandria]], he became [[Patriarch of Alexandria]] in 412, guiding the Church through theological disputes. His writings against Nestorianism were instrumental at the Council of Ephesus (431), affirming Mary as Theotokos (Mother of God). Despite controversies over his forceful methods, Cyril’s theology shaped Christian doctrine. Canonized pre-Congregation, he is venerated for his intellectual rigor and faith.<ref name="catholicsaints">{{cite web |title=Saint Cyril of Alexandria |url=https://catholicsaints.info/saint-cyril-of-alexandria/ |publisher=CatholicSaints.Info |accessdate=18 May 2025}}</ref>
