Abraham of Armenia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Abraham of Armenia was an Armenian priest and a disciple of the Leontine martyrs.

He was subjected to prolonged torture like his teachers, but was unlike them eventually set free. He then left society to become a hermit, remaining one until his death in the 5th century.

He is regarded as a saint by the Armenian Church, with a feast day of December 20.
