==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.
