The reference 2 Corinthians to Aretas, the Nabatean king, fixes the date of Saul’s conversion between 34 and 37 AD.
Inside the relatively small and simple church there are a couple of relief sculptures illustrating the two great
moments in the life of Paul.

Barnabas is traditionally considered the founder of the Cypriot church and to have been martyred at Salamis c. 61.

The ancient Cypriot Orthodox Church
is one of the sixteen independent ('autocephalous')
Eastern Orthodox churches,
The bishop of the capital, Salamis (Constantia),
was constituted metropolitan by Emperor Zeno,
with the title of archbishop.

This independent position by ancient custom was recognized, against the claims of the Patriarch of Antioch, at the Council of Ephesus (431 CE), and by an edict of the Byzantine emperor Zeno.

the epistle to the Hebrews
