A Christian in Damascus, Syria, Ananias received a vision of Jesus in which
he was ordered to find Saul (aka Paul the Apostle). Ananias found Saul, blind
and staggering into the city after his encounter with Christ on the road. He
cured Saul of the blindness, baptized him into the faith, supported him while he
prepared, and helped him begin his missionary work. Ananias evangelized in
Damascus, then went on his own mission to Eleutheropolis. Martyr. Ananias was martyred in the 1st century in Eleutheropolis, a now-ruined village in Palestine
