Abrahamite monks

The Abrahamite monks were an order of monks in a monstery founded by Saint Abraham of Ephesus,[1] who were martyred around 835 in Constantinople, during the iconoclast persecutions of Emperor Theophilus. They are regarded as saints by the Roman Catholic Church, with a feast day of July 8.[2]
