Abibus of Edessa was a 4th-century deacon and martyr born in Edessa around 307 AD. Following an imperial decree targeting Christians, he surrendered himself to authorities to prevent others from facing persecution. After enduring various tortures, he was executed by being burned at the stake under the Roman Emperor Licinius. He is recognized as a saint within the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Oriental Orthodox traditions, where he is remembered for his steadfast confession of faith during his trial.
