Abdas of Susa was a 5th-century Christian bishop living in the Sasanian Empire. Born to a Zoroastrian mother in Chaldor, he was educated in virtue before being ordained as a priest. He established a monastery and a school that employed dozens of teachers. After serving as a priest and later becoming a bishop, he became a prominent figure in the Persian Christian community, eventually facing execution for his religious convictions regarding Zoroastrian temples.
