[quote:NicOleander:MV81MjQwOTYzXzk3NjkzNDk1XzVBQjU3OEVD] "[b]Saint Nino[/b] (Georgian:romanized: ts'minda nino; Armenian:romanized: Agía Nína; sometimes St. Nune or St. Ninny) [b]Equal to the Apostles and the Enlightener of Georgia (c. 296 – c. 338 or 340) was a woman who preached Christianity in the territory of Caucasian Iberia, of what is now part of Georgia[/b]. It resulted in the Christianization of the royal house of Iberia, with the consequent Christianization of Iberia. According to most widely traditional accounts, she belonged to a Greek-speaking Roman family from Kolastra, Cappadocia, was a relative of Saint George,[1] and came to Georgia (ancient Iberia) from Constantinople. Other sources claim she was from Rome, Jerusalem or Gaul (modern France). According to legend, she performed miraculous healings and converted the Georgian queen, Nana, and eventually the pagan king Mirian III of Iberia, who, lost in darkness and blinded on a hunting trip, found his way only after he prayed to "Nino's God". Mirian declared Christianity as the official religion of his kingdom (c. 327) and Nino continued her missionary activities among Georgians until her death. Her tomb is still shown at the Bodbe Monastery " https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Nino [/quote]
