Abd-al-Masih (martyr)
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Abd-al-Masih_(martyr) an entity of type: Thing
Abd-al-Masih (or Abda) was a Jewish Christian martyr and saint of Late Antiquity. The name Abd-Al-Masih means "servant of the Messiah" in Arabic and is a posthumous title, not his name. Abd al-Masih, born Asher ben Levi was a converted Jewish shepherd boy in Sassanian Mesopotamia who was killed by his father Levi for his faith. Having been converted to Christianity he pierced his ear to wear an earring (probably indication of his slavery). He died in 390 AD. The story is set in Singara and is a Syriac text with later versions in Arabic and Armenian. There is disagreement about the location of his martyrdom. Some sources say Singar (in modern Iraq near the Syrian border), and others say in Arabia. He is regarded as the patron saint of sterile women in Syria, and has his feast day observed
