Saint Titus, Bishop of Crete

São Titus was one of São Paulo’s main collaborators. Coming from a Greek and pagan family, he was converted and baptized by Saint Paul and accompanied the apostle on his missions. Around the year 48, Titus went to Jerusalem with Saint Paul for the Council, where he was presented to the apostles. The fact that Saint Paul opposed Titus' circumcision made him a symbol of the universal value of Christianity , regardless of nationality or race.
