The young boy took the city where he found the churches in ruins and people were cursing in Christianity. He was asking God to support him. Tolerated.

In front of the governor:

Abanoub was very early in the boy, and he went to the governor and spoke to him boldly and courageously, who was amazed at the actions of this young boy, and he was courted by many promises, and the boy was witness to the true faith. The governor was angry and ordered to hit him on his stomach until his bowels appeared.

The boy was thrown in jail, and the imprisoned Christians rejoiced, recognized him, and comforted him.

The next day, the governor killed about 1,000 prisoners and received the crown of martyrdom on the ninth of Baramhat.

The governor summoned the boy, Abanoub, and ordered him to be tied from his feet on the masts of the boats that the governor had boarded towards Atrip, and in a taunt, he said, "To see, will Jesus come to save him?".

Abanoub was in all his torments a secret blessing for many souls accepted the faith in Christ, and many came to martyrdom with joy... And the Lord sent his angels to console the boy!

To Alexandria:

The governor saw the crowds that accepted faith because of the boy and sent him to Alexandria bound by chains. He met a woman with an unclean spirit that brought him out of handcuffs. She believed in Jesus, and one soldier was angry and killed.

In front of Arminius, the governor of Alexandria, the boy confessed to Christ, possibly inflicting other sufferings, including throwing him into a pit with hungry snakes and serpents, and the Lord saved him with his angel Michael.

The boy came out of the pit and was followed by some snakes... One wrapped around the neck of Arminius and the boy saved him, which surprised many accepted the faith and martyred.

He suffered other torments and was finally beheaded outside the city on a high rock after he stood with joy praying for God to forgive his sins and accept his soul.
