Abra of Poitiers

About Abra of Poitiers

Abra is remembered as the daughter of Hilary of Poitiers. The church biography places her birth around 342 and describes the conversion of Hilary and his family.

It says that she followed her father’s advice and became a consecrated virgin. Her short account records charitable work among the Christians of Poitiers and her death in 360.

The same source explicitly acknowledges that little is known about her.
