Saint Abanoub of Nehesa (Abba Nob), the Child Saint and Martyr, was only twelve years old when he was martyred by the Roman ruler. On July 31 (Abib 24 - Coptic month) the Coptic Orthodox Church celebrates the day of his martyrdom, as the day of his birth into eternal life. Abanoub's relics, as well as the relics of many Christians who died with him, are still preserved in Virgin Mary and St. Abanoub Coptic Orthodox Church in Samanoud, Egypt (click here to view church photos). It is also said that the Holy Family visited here during their Flight into Egypt. The church still contains the well from which The Lord Jesus, St. Mary, and St. Joseph drank. Numerous apparitions and miracles do occur in that church until this very day.
