Saint Athanasius of Alexandria, born around 296–298 AD, was a towering defender of Trinitarian orthodoxy, earning the title “Father of Orthodoxy.” Raised in Christian Alexandria, he became bishop in 328 AD, facing five exiles over 17 years for opposing Arianism—a heresy denying Christ’s divinity. His writings, like *On the Incarnation* and *Life of Anthony*, shaped Christian doctrine, while his leadership at the Council of Nicaea (325 AD) solidified the Nicene Creed. Exiled to deserts, Rome, and Constantinople by Arian emperors, he endured persecution yet returned triumphantly in 366 AD, dying peacefully on May 2, 373 AD. His relentless stand against heresy made him a pillar of the early Church. | Saint Athanasius of Alexandria, born around 296–298 AD, was a towering defender of Trinitarian orthodoxy, earning the title “Father of Orthodoxy.” Raised in Christian Alexandria, he became bishop in 328 AD, facing five exiles over 17 years for opposing Arianism—a heresy denying Christ’s divinity.
