The Abrahamite monks or Abrahamite martyrs were an order of monks in a monastery at Constantinople, founded by Abraham of Ephesus,[1] who were martyred around 835 during the iconoclast persecutions of Emperor Theophilus. They are regarded as saints by the Roman Catholic Church, with a feast day on 8 July[2] as well as in the Eastern Orthodox Church with a feast day on 6 July.[3]
