province, and that he has very often fought a good fight in various places against the Arians.”  Thus justice was done at last to one whose prudence, moderation, and love of peace, had exposed him in those days of bitter controversy to undeserved suspicion and relentless persecution.  His justification by the Council is the last recorded incident in Cyril’s life.  We are told by Jerome that he held undisturbed possession of his See for eight years under Theodosius.  The eighth year of Theodosius was a.d. 386, and in the Roman Martyrology, the 18th of March in that year is marked as “The birthday (‘Natalis,’ i.e. of his heavenly life) of Cyril, Bishop of Jerusalem, who after suffering many wrongs from the Arians for the sake of the Faith, and having been several times driven from his See, became at length renowned for the glory of sanctity, and rested in peace:  an Ecumenical Council in a letter to Damasus gave a noble testimony to his untarnished faith.” 19 Life of S.
