Abra of Poitiers was a 4th-century Christian saint and nun whose historical existence remains a subject of scholarly debate. Often identified as the daughter of Hilary of Poitiers, she is said to have embraced the faith by following her father's example. According to hagiographical traditions, she dedicated her life to serving the poor and promoting Christian teachings in the region surrounding Poitiers, France. She reportedly passed away around 360, possibly at the age of seventeen or eighteen, shortly after her father's return.
