Mor Abrohom Kidunoyo was born to a wealthy family near Edessa. His family wanted him to get married\, however he ran away to become a mon k. He then built a hermitage with a small opening only for food\, remainin g there to pray continuously. When his parents passed\, he had all the inh erited wealth distributed to the poor &\; needy\; keeping only a cloak\ , a goat-skin garment\, a bowl &\; a mat for himself. Near to the site of his cell\, there was a town called Beth Qidon whose citizens were pagan idolaters. Many had tried to evangelize them\, but it was always met with fierce opposition. The bishop of Edessa was disturbed by this\, saddened that the word of God could not reach the hearts of these people. He asked Abraham to leave his cell (against his will)\, ordained him as a priest &a mp\; sent him to preach the Gospel to the citizens of Qidon. Mor Abrohom b uilt a church in the town\, trying his hardest to spread the Gospel\, but they would not listen. Each night he would return to his cell to pray\, go ing back to the city every morning. The townsfolk would insult him\, abuse him\, even attacking him with sticks &\; stones. Once\, St. Abraham wa s left for dead\, but upon recovering he would return to the people trying his level best to soften their hearts &\; open their ears to the messa ge of the Gospel. This went on with much difficulty for 3 years. By the gr ace of God\, there was a break through. Abraham's patience\, steadfast fai th &\; willingness to suffer for the Gospel convinced the citizens of Q idon of his holiness. They listened to &\; accepted the Gospel\, eventu ally being baptized by him. He continued teaching them the ideals of Chris tian faith\, justice &\; charity for another year till he retired back to his hermitage. As the whole town of Qidon was converted through his unt iring efforts\, he was given the name St. Abraham of Qidon. Mor Abrohom Ki dunoyo led a life of penance for fifty years &\; lived to the age of 70 . At the news of his last illness\, the whole countryside flocked to recei ve his benediction &\; after his death each one sought to procure a fra gment of his clothing.Biography courtesy of\, 'Martyrs\, Saints and Prelat es of the Syriac Orthodox Church'Oh Mor Abrohom Kidunoyo!
