Abraham of Smolensk was a Russian monk, priest, and iconographer who lived in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. Born into a noble family, he renounced his wealth to embrace a life of poverty and asceticism. He served as the abbot of the Bogoroditzkaja convent in Smolensk, where he was known for his extensive biblical studies and preaching. Despite facing theological accusations and professional jealousy from fellow clergy, he remained a significant spiritual figure in pre-Mongol Russia.
