Abas

Saint Abas is a saint of the Orthodox Church of whom it is known only that he lived in an unknown century. His true name has not been preserved.

He was at first a Muslim, most probably from Syria. He became a Christian and then even an abbot in some unknown monastery, to which, it seems, he owes the title "abbas" (abbot), by which we know him instead of his real name.

His memory is kept on 22 November.
