Barnabas, St. A Jewish
Levite who became one of the earliest Christian disciples in
Jerusalem. Along with St
Paul, he is called an
Apostle (Acts 14: 14). He introduced Paul to the Apostles after his conversion and went with him on his first ‘missionary journey’; later, owing to a dispute over John
Mark, they parted, and Barnabas sailed for
Cyprus. He is the traditional founder of the Cypriot Church and legend asserts that he was martyred at Salamis in AD 61. Feast day, 11 June.
