Origen was born in Alexandria around 185AD and died around 254AD.

He was appointed head of the Cathetical School in Alexandria by Bishop Demetrius.

In 230AD he was ordained in Palestine without the authority of Demetrius who subsequently expelled him from Alexandria.

Parts of his teaching were anathematised at the Second Council of Constantinople in 554AD.
