Abraham Kidunaia was a third-century Syriac Christian priest and hermit who lived in the region of Edessa and Assos. Born into a wealthy family, he chose a life of asceticism by withdrawing to a walled cell shortly before his intended marriage. After inheriting his parents' fortune, he distributed the wealth to the poor. He later served as a priest, gaining a reputation for his gentle character and his efforts to convert pagan populations to Christianity.
