Abdecalas was a Persian priest who lived during the 4th century. He was martyred in Iran in 345 under the rule of Shapur II. Along with a fellow priest named Ananias and roughly one hundred other Christians, including bishops and clerks, he was executed on Good Friday. These individuals had been imprisoned following the arrest of Simeon, the bishop of Seleucia, who had refused to worship the sun.
