On this day, St

 Abba Cragown from El Batanoun was also martyred

 He was  a former thief

 Two young men planned the theft with him

 They entered the monk's cell, where he stood guard while praying

 They waited until he  finished praying and lay down

 Still, he continued to stand and pray until they were tired and restless

 When night came, the old monk went  to the thieves, and when they saw him, they bowed his head and threw away his sword

 He preached and taught them, and they became monks under his guidance

 St

 Abacragon fought  great battles and devoted himself to an ascetic life

 The old monk prophesied to him that he would receive the crown of martyrdom for the name of Christ, a prophecy that was  later fulfilled

 Six years later, when the devil was persecuting the church, St

 Abacragon said farewell to his spiritual father  and received his blessing

 He went to Nachios and confessed the name of the Lord Christ before the governor appointed by Maximian Caesar

 The governor tortured him severely and then took him to Alexandria

 He was then tortured by being hung from the ship's mast  five times, with the rope breaking each time

 Then they put him in a wineskin bag and threw him into the sea

 The angel of the Lord lifted him out of the water and told him to go to Samanoud

 On his way, he passed through the city of El Benwan, whose inhabitants recognized him

 They brought to him all who were sick, and by his prayers they were healed

 When he arrived at Samarnaud, God worked many signs on his hands

 By his prayers he brought back from the dead the daughter of  the vizier Justus

 Justus, his wife, and all the soldiers believed, and they all received the crown of martyrdom, numbering 935

 As for St

 Abercrombie, they sent him back to Alexandria

 After torturing him with various torture methods, they cut off his head and he received the crown of martyrdom

 The angel of the Lord appeared to the priest in the city of Menuf and told him where the saint's body was, and the priest went and received it

 After the period of persecution ended, they built a church named after him in the city of El Batanoun and buried his body there.
