3rd and 4th-century Greek Christian martyr and saint
Abudimus (Greek: Ἅγιος Ἀβούδιμος; died 305) was a Greek Christian martyr also known as Abudemius of Bozcaada.[1]
Abudimus was tortured during the Diocletian persecution on the island of Tenedos, before dying in 305. The reason for the martyrdom was that the saint did not want to eat meat sacrificed to idols.[2]
Abudimus is regarded as a saint by both the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church, with a feast day of July 15.
