Nothing is known for certain of S. Aristobulus, who was one of the
seventy disciples of our Lord. He is said by the Greeks to have
preached in Britain. He may be the Arystly who, according to the
Welsh Triads, was one of the founders of Christianity in Britain. The

was the brother of S. Barnabas, that he was ordained bishop, and died a
martyr.
