The future bishop of Jerusalem was born in Damascus (Byzantine Empire) in 560.

He visited monasteries for a long time, where he got to know various hermits.

This is how Sophrony began to be friends with Ivan Mosh, who became his mentor and brother.

The men went to Syria and Asia Minor together.

And also in 580 they cut their hair as monks in Egypt.

In 634, Sophronius became an Egyptian bishop.

He immediately summoned other bishops to the Synod, where he condemned the heresy of the monoliths.

He died in Alexandria (Egypt) in 638.
