SAINT FEAST DAY 8 APRIL: ST AGABUS

ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN APRIL Saints celebrated on the 8th of April WELCOME! SAINT AGABUS, PROPHET AND MARTYR ➡️ Saint Agabus, "Patron Saint of Fortune Tellers" Saint Agabus is mentioned in Acts 11:28, and 21:10, as a prophet of the New Testament. Most probably both passages refer to the same person, who appears to have been a resident of Jerusalem.  ONE OF THE SEVENTY-TWO DISCIPLES Tradition makes him one of the seventy-two disciples (Luke 10:1), and one of the martyrs who suffered at Antioch.  HE PREDICTED THE FAMINE According to Acts 11:27-30, Agabus predicted the famine which apparently must be identified with that happening in the fourth year of Claudius, A.D. 45. In the year 58 the prophet predicted to St Paul his coming captivity, though he could not induce the Apostle to stay away from Jerusalem (Acts 21:10-11). (Information from Catholic Encyclopedia, 1913)
