ΑΓΙΑ ΝΙΝΑ Η ΙΣΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΟΣ

Η φωτίστρια της Γεωργίας. Η μνήμη της τιμάται 14 Ιανουαρίου.
Saint Nina was a pious child who was fostered by another mother, other than her own. She dedicated her life to learning about Christ. She was intrigued as to the whereabouts of Christ’s robe, knowing it was too holy to have been lost. The Mother of God appeared to her and told her it was taken to Georgia, and was asked to go there and convert that nation. She did as she was told, and converted that region. Once there, she learned that a soldier had brought it back to Georgia after the crucifixion, and had given it to his sister to safe guard. While clutching it to her breast – she died, and no one was able to take it from her. The robe of Christ was buried with her. This very spot was the place that St. Nina had settle as a pilgrim in a hut, without knowing the importance of where she settled. It is said that a cedar grew from the grave of the girl that was buried with Christ’s robe.
