Life
Absadah was born near Behnesa, Egypt, c. 300. He was a priest to a small congregation in his village. Upon the start of the Diocletian Persecution, Absadah barricaded himself in his home, planning to hide from persecution. Later, he recounted a vision of Jesus appearing before him. He voluntarily came before the court, and was sent to Alexandria.[1]
Absadah was sentenced to be burnt alive; however, he was beheaded outside the walls of the city. He was buried at Cairo.
Sainthood
The Catholic Church commemorates Absadah as a saint, with a feast day of January 19.

gollark: Pages would be functions of state to HTMLish trees (this may be slightly horribly inefficient on big ones but whatever).
gollark: And none of the stupid case insensitivity thing.
gollark: It could use something like HTTP, but over the eminently superior QUIC, and with headers being easier to parse S-expressions (or maybe with a binary encoding).
