Life

Upon the start of the Diocletian Persecution, Absadah barricaded himself in his home, planning to hide from persecution. Later, he recounted a vision of Jesus Christ appearing before him. He voluntarily came before the court, and was sent to Alexandria.[1]
Absadah was sentenced to be burnt alive; however, he was beheaded outside the walls of the city. He was buried at Cairo.
