Hesychius of Jerusalem

Hesychius Hierosolymitanus

Biography

Hesychius, born around the beginning of the 5th century, was a monk before becoming a priest and holding the office of ‘didascal’ (catechist) in Jerusalem. His career as an orator probably began some twenty years before the Council of Ephesus (431). In the Holy City, he met Jerome, Cyril of Alexandria, Melania the Younger, and Peter the Iberian.
