Finding of the relics of the Righteous St Abibas



St Abibas was the twenty-year-old son of St Gamaliel, who died before his father. His relics were uncovered along with those of Sts Stephen, Gamaliel, and Nicodemus in 415.

The relics of Sts Stephen, Gamaliel, Abibas, and Nicodemus were transferred from Jerusalem to Constantinople in 428 and placed in the church of the holy deacon Laurence (August 10).
