Abraham of Farshut was a 6th-century abbot from Farshut, Egypt, who is recognized as a saint within the Coptic and Oriental Orthodox traditions. After losing his parents at a young age, he joined the monastery of Pachomius at Pbow to pursue monastic life. He eventually rose to the position of abbot, but his leadership led to a significant confrontation with Emperor Justinian I regarding the Council of Chalcedon. Choosing his religious convictions over imperial pressure, he was removed from his post and later established new monastic communities.
