St. Athanasius
St. Athanasius was a native of Alexandria, Egypt, and was born about the year 296. His parents, virtuous Christians secured for him the best education possible. He has been styled the “Father of Orthodoxy”, “Pillar of the Church” and “Champion of Christ’s Divinity”. God chose him to defend His Church against the Arian heresy.
While only a Deacon, St. Alexander, his Bishop, took him to the Coincil of Nicea in 325, and there he distinguished himself by his extraordinary zeal and learning. Five months later, as St. Alexander lay dying, he recommended to his clergy and people St. Athanasius for his successor. For forty-six years, as Patriarch of Alexandria, St. Athanasius employed all his power and authority to bring the Arians back to the unity of the Church.
Although exiled five times from his See, he succeeded during those periods to guide his flock by his enlightening treatises on Catholic dogmas. His undaunted courage and unparalleled greatness of soul under the most violent persecutions, surely merited for him a crown equal to that of the glorious martyrs. In the year 373, St. Athanasius surrendered his soul to his God, Whom he had served so long and faithfully. The Church honors him as one of her greatest Doctors
