St. Cyril of Alexandria was known for his role in the Christological controversies of the 5th century, particularly his defense of the title "Theotokos" (Mother of God) for the Virgin Mary and his writings on the unity of Christ's divine and human natures. He also played a significant role in the Council of Ephesus in 431, which affirmed Mary as Theotokos and condemned Nestorianism.
