Addai
Among the Eastern Orthodox faithful, Saint Addai is the person who was sent by Saint Thomas the Apostle to Edessa in order to heal King Abgar, who had fallen ill. Addai stayed to evangelize, and converted Abgar—or Agbar, or in one Latin version "Acbar" — and his people including Saint Aggai and Saint Mari.
