Life

Venerable Abraham of Pinega was a monk of the Pinega district, in the North Dvina. He is venerated as a local saint and commemorated on 21 June; the time when he lived and his local canonization are not known.

His commemoration appears as "wonderworker" in the calendar of Simon Azaryin of the 1650s. The historian E. E. Golubinsky supposed that he might have been the founder or one of the abbots of the monastery of the Praise of the Mother of God, in the Pinezhsky Volok in the Dvina land, today in the Arkhangelsk region. No life of him survives.
