Lucius of Cyrene was an early Christian bishop and a member of the church in Antioch. Mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles, he was part of a group of prophets and teachers who, after fasting and praying, commissioned Barnabas and Paul for missionary work. He is identified as a founder of the church in Antioch, having traveled from Cyrene to spread the gospel to Greek speakers. Some traditions also recognize him as one of the Seventy Disciples.
