About this sermon

Saint Nino, Equal to the Apostles and Enlightener of Georgia, is commemorated on January 14 by the Holy Orthodox Church. This video recounts the sacred life, divine calling, and missionary labors of Saint Nino of Cappadocia, the virgin who brought the light of Christ to the Georgian nation. Born to a noble and deeply faithful Christian family, Saint Nino was the relative of Saint George the Great Martyr and the niece of Patriarch Juvenal of Jerusalem. Raised in holiness, prayer, and obedience, she received a heavenly vision from the Most Holy Theotokos, who entrusted her with a grapevine cross bound with her own hair and sent her to preach the Gospel in pagan Georgia.
