Cyril of Jerusalem began as bishop of the holy city during a time of celestial omens and earthly ambitions. His vain and ambitious mind aspired to restore the ancient glory of the Temple, while his position as one of the most respectable ecclesiastical writers gave him influence across the Christian world. He immediately composed descriptions of celestial phenomena that shaped how others understood divine signs.
Description

His full dark beard is streaked with gray, and he wears ornate gold-embroidered ecclesiastical vestments with a heavy pectoral cross.
