Life

Holy Martyr Abramius is commemorated in the Greek calendar on 31 October (new style), together with Stephen, Barnabas, Trophimus, Dorymedon, Cosmas, Damian, Sabbas and Bassus, and "the company of those with them".

The verse of the synaxarion speaks of a band of nine athletes with a crowd of fellow contestants, who shared the same crown. The synaxarion, however, has no details of their lives. For Abramius, as for the others, the sources consulted give neither the place, nor the time, nor the manner of death.

Commemorated the same day October 31
