Life

Saint Barnabas, called the monk, is commemorated on 12 October (new style, the Greek calendar) in the group of venerable ascetics of Cyprus from the 300 Alamanoi, together with Valantius, Barlaam, Basil the bishop and others.

The synaxarion preserves no details of his life. All that is known is that he was a monk, and his name survives in the common commemoration of the group.
