Macarius of Jerusalem - Definition and Overview

Saint Macarius of Jerusalem was bishop of Jerusalem from 312 to 334. The date of Macarius's accession to the episcopate is found in St. Jerome's version of Eusebius of Caesarea's Chronicles. He took part in the Council of Nicaea. He accompanied Saint Helena, the mother of Constantine I in her successful search at Jerusalem for the True Cross.

His death must have been before the Council of Tyre, in 335, at which his successor, Maximus, was apparently one of the bishops present.

He also received a long letter from Constantine the Great with reference to the building of the Church of the Redeemer at Jerusalem.
