Abibos of Nekresi was a 6th-century bishop and one of the thirteen Assyrian apostles who traveled to Georgia to spread the Christian faith. Working under the leadership of Ioane of Zedazeni, he served the mountainous region of Kakheti. He was instrumental in preaching to local populations, including the ancient mountain tribes. During a period of Persian rule, his missionary work challenged the dominant Zoroastrian faith, eventually leading to his martyrdom at the hands of the Persian authorities.
