The suppression of Christianity in Cyprus continued, and the tomb of St Barnabas was forgotten. By the 5th century AD, however, the Christian church had been re-established. In 477AD, Bishop Anthemios had a dream in which he saw the location of the long lost grave. After his dream, the Bishop ordered the opening of the tomb. There they found a body, which was identified as Barnabas by the Gospel of St Mathew lying on his chest.
