Abo of Tiflis was an 8th-century Christian martyr born in Baghdad. Originally raised as a Muslim, he traveled to the region of Kartli alongside Prince Nerses, the ruler of Tbilisi. After a period of intense spiritual searching and theological debate, he eventually embraced Christianity. Despite the dangers of living under Arab rule, he eventually underwent baptism in Khazaria and later returned to Tbilisi, where he became a public witness for his new faith.
