His family wanted him to get married\, however he ran away to become a monk. He then built a hermitage with a small opening only for food\, rem aining there to pray continuously. When his parents passed\, he had all th e inherited wealth distributed to the poor & needy\; keeping only a cloak\ , a goat-skin garment\, a bowl & a mat for himself. \n\nNear to the site o f 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 t hat the word of God could not reach the hearts of these people. He asked A braham to leave his cell (against his will)\, ordained him as a priest & s ent him to preach the Gospel to the citizens of Qidon. Mor Abrohom built a church in the town\, trying his hardest to spread the Gospel\, but they w ould not listen. Each night he would return to his cell to pray\, going ba ck to the city every morning. The townsfolk would insult him\, abuse him\, even attacking him with sticks & stones. Once\, St. Abraham was 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 message of the Gospel . This went on with much difficulty for 3 years. \n\nBy the grace of God\, there was a break through. Abraham's patience\, steadfast faith & willing ness to suffer for the Gospel convinced the citizens of Qidon of his holin ess. They listened to & accepted the Gospel\, eventually being baptized by him. He continued teaching them the ideals of Christian faith\, justice & charity for another year till he retired back to his hermitage. As the wh ole town of Qidon was converted through his untiring efforts\, he was give n the name St. Abraham of Qidon. \n\nMor Abrohom Kidunoyo led a life of pe nance for fifty years & lived to the age of 70. At the news of his last il lness\, the whole countryside flocked to receive his benediction & after h is death each one sought to procure a fragment of his clothing.\n\nBiograp hy courtesy of\, 'Martyrs\, Saints and Prelates of the Syriac Orthodox Chu rch'\n\nOh Mor Abrohom Kidunoyo! Plead for us before God's throne of grace . Amen.\n\nRSoH LOCATION: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
