St. Barnabas

St. Barnabas, one of the pillars of the infant Christian Church, is a Cypriot Jew who found his salvation in Jesus Christ. A likely author of the letter to the Hebrews, he teamed with St. Mark to establish the first Christian Church in North Africa. Beloved by his compatriots and reviled by his enemies, he paid the ultimate price in a blazing house fire, but not before leaving an indelible footprint for all believers yet to come.
