Our father among the [[saint]]s '''Juvenal of Jerusalem''' (Greek: Άγιος Ιουβενάλιος) was the Bishop of the [[Bishop Church of Jerusalem]] from 420 to 458. Following the [[Fourth Ecumenical Council]] in [[Chalcedon]], in 451, that recognized the [[see]] of Jerusalem as a Patriarchate, he became the first Patriarch of Jerusalem, an office he occupied until his death in 458. His [[feast day]] is [[July 2]].
==Life==
Little is known of his youth, including his birth and early life. He was a friend of St. [[Euthymius the Great]], and uncle (through his sister Sosana) of St. [[Nino of Cappadocia|Nina of Georgia]].
Juvenal participated in the [[Third Ecumenical Council]], convened in Ephesus in 431, where he sided with [[Cyril of Alexandria]] against [[Nestorius]] in the condemnation of Nestorius for [[heresy]]. Juvenal also wanted to make Jerusalem into a primary see by demoting the [[Metropolitan]] see of [[Caesarea]] Palaestina and the primary see of [[Antioch]]. However, Cyril refused to help Bp. Juvenal promote his claims.
