Abanoub was a 4th-century Christian martyr from Egypt, often referred to as the Child Martyr. Born in Nehisa, located in the Talkha district, he was raised by Christian parents who passed away during his childhood. At the age of twelve, he decided to dedicate himself to his faith during the persecutions led by Emperor Diocletian. After distributing his inheritance to the poor, he traveled to Samanoud, where his refusal to renounce Christ led to significant suffering and eventual execution in Alexandria.
