A disciple and companion of St. Paul to whom
the great saint addressed one of his
letters. Paul referred to Titus as "my true
child in our common faith". Not mentioned in
the Acts of the Apostles, he was noted in
Galatians where Paul writes of journeying to
Jerusalem with Barnabas, accompanied by
Titus. He was then dispatched to Corinth,
Greece, where he successfully reconciled the
Christian community there with Paul, its
founder. Titus was later left on the island
of Crete to help organize the Church,
although he soon went to Dalmatia, Croatia.
According to Eusebius of Caesarea in the
Ecclesiastical Histor y, he served as the
first bishop of Crete. He was buried in
Cortyna (Gortyna), Crete; his head was later
translated to Venice during the invasion of
Crete by the Saracens in 832 and was
enshrined in St. Mark’s, Venice, Italy.
