Holy Apostle Aristobulos of the Seventy Bishop of Britain Reading from the Synaxarion: Saint Aristobulos, the brother of Saint Barnabas, was ordained to be bishop in Britain by the Apostle Paul, who mentions him in his epistle to the Romans (16:10). He suffered many afflictions at the hands of the pagans, but also brought many to Christ. Having established the Church there, he finally reposed in peace. Apolytikion in the Third Tone O Holy Apostle Aristobulos, intercede with the merciful God that He grant unto our souls forgiveness of offences.
