St. Cyril was a major player in the fight against the Arian heresy. He lived from 315-386 A.D.
Here's a great quote from him, regarding the Holy Eucharist:
"Since He Himself has declared and said of the bread: This is My Body, who shall dare to doubt any more? And when He asserts and says: This is My Blood, who shall ever hesitate and say it is not His Blood? Do not, therefore, regard the bread and wine as simply that, for they are, according to the Master's declaration, the Body and Blood of Christ. Even though the senses suggest to you the other, let faith make you firm."
