St. Nino, the font of Kartli.
The reader is offered a curated collection of authentic Georgian sources created over the centuries, in which is recorded the life of St. Nino — the "personal disciple of the Mother of God," enlightener of Georgia and Equal-to-the-Apostles — together with church readings, hymns, akathists, visions, epistles and homilies devoted to her.
The collection includes extensive illustrative material, comprehensive information on each source, a glossary and indices.
This collection was prepared and published with the blessing of Abbess Ketevan (Kopaliani) of Samtavro Convent and through the efforts of Archimandrite Lazar (Gagnidze).
The edition is dedicated to the Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia, Archbishop of Mtskheta-Tbilisi, Metropolitan of Bichvinta and Tskhum-Abkhazeti, Ilia II.
