The Defender of Mary, Mother of God | St. Cyril of Alexandria (Feb 9)

About This Prayer

St. Cyril of Alexandria was a Doctor of the Church who defended the truth about Christ and upheld Mary as Theotokos—Mother of God—during one of the greatest theological crises in history. His leadership at the Council of Ephesus safeguarded orthodox belief for generations. His life reminds us that protecting doctrine protects the faithful. St. Cyril of Alexandria, pray for us!
