Can someone help with a question?

I do not remember who the saint was (I wish I could) in reading the lives of the saints, there was one saint who would not budge on his beliefs. Every other priest, bishop, Metropolitan and even the people believed in a heresy. I think it was on either icon veneration or possibly on the divinity of Christ.

There are a number of answers to that question. Someone mentioned St Athanasius, and that is one. Also coming to mind are St Maximos the Confessor and St Mark of Ephesus. (not to mention the similar Prophet Elijah who complained to God that everyone in the land had gone over to the worship of Baal and only he alone remained faithful - and God told him that he was not alone but that there were thousands who had not bowed to the false God)
