Abraham the Righteous Patriarch icon (2)

Orthodox icon of Abraham the Righteous Patriarch (2)

Commemorated the Sunday of the Forefathers and always before Christmas.

The life of Abraham can be found in the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament, Chapters 12-25. His constant obedience to God has earned him the title of "Righteous" and is a wonderful example so that we may offer our own obedience and love to God.
