Abudimus of Tenedos

Saint Abudimus the Martyr (Abudemius) of Tenedos was a Greek martyr, who suffered in the persecution of Diocletian, on the island of Tenedos (today Bozcaada). He died in the year 305. He is venerated as a saint by both the Orthodox and the Catholic Church, with a commemoration on 15 July.

Abudimus was seized on Tenedos during the persecution of Diocletian and was tortured. He refused to eat food sacrificed to idols, that is, meat offered to the gods of old, and for this he was beheaded in the year 305, the same year as Saint Catherine and Saint Panteleimon. One source says only that he was tortured before dying.
