The famous hagiographer and icon painter Mikhail-Gobron Sabinin wrote, based on ancient Georgian icons, frescoes and miniatures, which he carefully studied during his life, the icon “Glory of the Georgian Catholic Church”, similar to the majestic arch of Georgian hagiography. Being a deeply religious person, Since childhood, he visited the monasteries and shrines of Georgia, lived for a long time among the monks, was an ascetic in his personal life, and in his declining years wrote this magnificent icon as a sacred poem, as a spiritual testament to his descendants, as a hymn to the Georgian Church. Here, in an extremely compressed space, he embodied the spiritual the history of Georgia in the images of its saints: martyrs and saints, kings and warriors, bishops and monks.
