History knows many child martyrs, but undoubtedly the most recognised Egyptian child saint is Abanoub of Nehisa. Born in a time of widespread idolatry Abanoub was raised in pious Christian family that taught him the orthodox faith. When he was just 12 years old, he was filled with holy zeal and proclaimed the faith boldly in front of the romans rulers.
