St. Abo Of Tbilisi

[Selah]

 

Next to St. Moses, St. Abo is my favorite and most beloved saint. He is a martyr and the Patron of perfumers (He was a perfumer himself), as well as Patron and protector of Tbilisi, Georgia. He grew up in Baghdad as a practicing Muslim, but later converted to Christianity. He was eventually captured, convicted, and sentenced to death for leaving Islam.
