Barnabas was a prominent disciple and friend of St Paul, they made many converts at Salamis and Paphos despite constantly having to flee persecution.

He attended the Council of Jerusalem arguing that uncircumcised Gentiles be allowed into the Christian community.

Eventually Barnabas's zeal attracted negative attention and he was stoned and burned by Jews from Syria.

In 478 he appeared in a dream to the Archbishop of Constantia and revealed the place of his sepulchre under a carob tree - here he was found with the manuscript of St Matthew's Gospel on his breast.
