Abraham the Poor (also Saint Abraham the Child and Abraham the Simple) was a fourth-century Egyptian hermit and a saint.
Born in the town of Menuf, he became a disciple of Pachomius, who founded cenobitic monasticism, in the delta region of the Nile River. He remained a disciple of Pachomius for 23 years, after which he spent the following seventeen years as a cave hermit.[1] His nicknames of "the poor" and "the child" refer to his simple life and simple faith.[1] His feast day is celebrated on 27 October.
