Today we honor Saints Abraham and Mary of Edessa, shining examples of repentance, perseverance, and divine love. Born near Edessa around the year 360, Saint Abraham devoted his life to God in solitude and prayer. His niece, Saint Mary, after falling into sin, was lovingly restored through his faith and guidance. Their story, recounted by Saint Ephraim, inspires all who seek redemption and holiness through Christ.

💫 Learn how Saint Abraham transformed his desert into a paradise of prayer — and how Saint Mary, once lost, became a radiant model of penance and grace.
