Juvenal of Jerusalem was a 5th-century prelate who served as the Bishop of Jerusalem starting in 422. Following the Council of Chalcedon, he became the city's first metropolitan, eventually gaining jurisdictional authority over all three provinces of Roman Palestine. His efforts to expand the influence of his see laid the groundwork for Jerusalem to later be recognized as a patriarchate. He was a significant figure in the theological debates of his era, navigating complex disputes regarding the nature of Christ.
