Life
Holy Martyr Abdias of Persia, also called Abid, suffered in Persia in the time of King Yazdegerd I, in the fifth century, because he refused to renounce Christ and to bow to the sun and fire. He died after cruel tortures and gave thanks to God until his last breath, for the Lord had blessed His chosen one to die for His holy Name. He is commemorated on 18 September.
