 BIGpedia - Cyril of Jerusalem - Encyclopedia and Dictionary Online
He seems to have been ordained deacon by Bishop Macarius of Jerusalem about 335, and priest some ten years later by Maximus.
Little is known of his life before he became bishop; the assignment of the year 315 for his birth rests on mere conjecture.
Parallel with the exposition of the creed as it was then received in the church of Jerusalem are vigorous polemics against pagan, Jewish, and heretical errors.

 The True Cross (Separating Myth From History)
The Jerusalem bishops adhered to the orthodox view, decided on at the Council of Nicaea (325 C.E.), that God the Father and Son were “of the same substance” (homoousion) and thus equal.
The conflict was further complicated by the fact that the bishops of Jerusalem and Caesarea were on opposite sides of a major fourth-century debate over the nature of God the Father and God the Son.
Cyril writes that the cross filled the sky over Jerusalem for most of one day, inspiring all the city’s inhabitants, Christian and non-Christian alike, to flock to the church and affirm their faith in Christ.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Saint Macarius
Macarius was one of the bishops to whom St. Alexander of Alexandria wrote warning them against Arius (Epiph., "Hær.", LXIX, iv).
The seventh canon of the council–"As custom and ancient tradition show that the bishop of Ælia [Jerusalem] ought to be honoured, he shall have precedence; without prejudice, however, to the dignity which belongs to the Metropolis"–by its vagueness suggests that it was the result of a drawn battle.
Athanasius, in his encyclical letter to the bishops of Egypt and Libya, places the name of Macarius (who had been long dead at that time) among those of bishops renowned for their orthodoxy.

"Here Bishop Macarius of Jerusalem came to Helena's help, by undertaking, with a prayer for God's help, to place a sick woman on each of the three crosses in turn, so that it could then be seen what happened to her on each of the three occasions.
