medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Marjorie,
In case it's Cyril of Alexandria, to keep you from having to do any clipping here's a single image of him from the double icon that Diana already offered:

And here's another image of Cyril of Alexandria, this time from the frescoes of officiating bishops (1313 or 1314) in the King's Church at the Studenica Monastery in Serbia:

Yet another of this C. from the King's Church at Studenica:

Finding Cyril (Constantine), brother of Methodius, by himself is a bit more difficult. Here are a couple of modern images that might do:

Here's a reproduction of his 1929 mosaic portrait at his supposed resting place in the late antique/early medieval church of San Clemente in Rome (i.e., in the level immediately below that of the present church):

For a more "traditional" look, though you would have to do some clipping, here's this C. at right with Methodius on the left:

Here are a few modern images of Cyril of Jerusalem:
