Makarios 3 was hegoumenos and archimandrite of the monastery of Bardas; in 787 he attended the Second Council of Nikaia (the Seventh Ecumenical Council); he is attested at the fourth session, on 1 October 787, when he subscribed the statements read out from the Fathers in support of the veneration of icons: Mansi XIII 152 (Μάκαρις ἡγούμενος καὶ ἀρχιμανδρίτης Βαρδὰ; the Latin version, at XIII 151, calls him "Macarius"). He probably attended other sessions of the Council also; see Gregorios 45.
