Saint Aristobulus of Britannia 🇬🇧 

Holy Apostle Aristobulus of the Seventy also known as Aristobulus of Britannia. He was a follower of the Apostle Paul, and was ordained by him as the first Bishop of Britain. 

The Holy Apostle Aristobulus was a Jew from the island of Cyprus. He was appointed by the Lord to preach the Gospel as one of the Seventy Apostles, whom He chose in addition to the original Twelve (Luke 10:1). 

Aristobulus and his brother the Apostle Barnabas accompanied Saint Paul on his missionary journeys. Saint Aristoboulos is mentioned by the Apostle Paul in his Epistle to the Romans (Romans 16:10); “Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus.”

Saint Paul ordained Aristobulus as the first Bishop of Britain, and sent him out to preach the Gospel in the British isles. The Apostle Aristobulus laboured tirelessly to enlighten the hostile pagan people who often mocked and beat him. Despite this, he converted many people to Christ. 

Saint Aristobulus reposed peacefully in Britain among the people he had evangelized (although other local sources . Some sources say he suffered a martyr’s death in Wales at an advanced age.

Saint Aristoboulos is also commemorated on October 31 with Saints Stachys, Apelles, Amplias, Urban, and Narcissus (all of whom are mentioned together in Romans 16:8-11), and on the Synaxis of the Seventy Apostles on January 4.
