Abraham the Great of Kidunja : ウィキペディア英語版
Abraham Kidunaia

Saint Abraham the Great of Kidunja (or Kidunaja) (died c. 366) was a hermit and priest of the Christian Church.
==Biography==
The ''Vita'' of St. Abraham was written by his friend, St. Ephrem.〔(Butler, Alban. "St. Abraham, Hermit", ''The Lives of the Saints'', Vol.III, 1866 )〕
Abraham was born to a wealthy family near Edessa, during the third century.〔Johnson, Elizabeth. "St. Abraham Kidunaia: the runaway groom", ''Faith'' magazine, Diocese of Lansing, Michigan, March 2010〕 After receiving an excellent education, Abraham was encouraged to get married. He followed the wishes of his parents, but shortly before the wedding ceremony, he told his bride his desire to dedicate his life to God.〔("Abraham Kidunaia", ''Oxford Dictionary of Saints )〕 His bride accepted this resolution and Abraham retired to a cell near the city, where he walled up the cell door, leaving only a small window open for food to be brought him.
Ten years after he retreated from the world, his parents died, leaving Abraham a wealthy man.〔("St. Abraham Kidunaia", ''Catholic Courier'', Diocese of Rochester, March 9, 2008 )〕 He had the inheritance distributed to the poor. Abraham became known throughout the region as a holy man and many came to him for guidance.〔 Reports of his reputation came to the bishop of Edessa who ordained him a priest and sent Abraham to Beth-Kidunaa. When Abraham destroyed the pagan idols and altars, the outraged townspeople drove him away. Abraham would return and urge them to give up their superstitions, and be driven out again. Eventually his persistence began to yield results.〔(Staley, Tony. "Left the altar for the desert", ''The Compass'', Diocese of Green Bay, Wisconsin, March 14, 2003 )〕
Abraham worked among them for the three years, when fearing that he would begin to desire material possessions he returned to his cell near Edessa where he spent the next fifty years in prayer and penance.〔 He was known never to reprove anyone sharply but always with charity and gentleness.
Around the year 360 Abraham died at the age of seventy after a long life of service to God.〔
