Abraham of Armenia was a 5th-century Armenian priest who lived as a disciple of the Leontine Martyrs. Following the persecution of his teachers by the Sasanian Empire, he endured extensive torture during a period of captivity in Persia. Although he survived the ordeals that led to the execution of his companions, he chose to withdraw from society to live as a hermit for the remainder of his life.
