Life

Saint Abundantius (also called Abundius or Abudimus) suffered at Thessalonica, together with many other Christians, in the time of the emperor Diocletian (284-305). He is commemorated on 27 February (new style) in the company of Alexander, Antigonus, Calanus, Januarius, Macarius, Severianus, Titianus and Fortunatus (also called Fortunion).

This information comes from ancient martyrologies. The number of the martyrs and their names differ from manuscript to manuscript, and nothing further is known about their martyrdom.

Commemorated the same day February 27
