Abraham together with other disciples of Cornelius participated in the construction of the churches of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin, of Elijah the Prophet and Nicholas the Wonderworker, the caves for the monks. In the lifetime of Cornelius he appointed Abraham as his successor. The Reverend Cornelius died about 1420, Abraham buried him in the cave of the island of Paley.

He was buried in the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin near Cornelius.
