The Four Holy Georgian Queens
Ss. Nana, Shushanik, Tamar, and Ketevan
Saint Nana - October 1st
Troparion (Tone 1)
Christ our God has called thee Nana, for thou grantest peace to
those who hasten to thy church with hymns. Thou dost intercede for all before
the Light-creating Trinity. Together we celebrate thy memory as we magnify God
Who has glorified thee.
Saint Shushanik - August 28th
Troparion
O Holy Shushanik, because of thy husband's trangression
thou wast adorned with a martyr's crown and thou didst deny the rank of
earthy queen in favor of the Heavenly Kingdom. Now thou dost
stand boldly before the Bridegroom, the Immortal Christ. Protect
us who praise thy name!
Saint Tamar - May 1st
Troparion (Tone 3)
Exalted amoung the saints, O Holy and Righteous Queen Tamar, Thou
didst erect churches atop the highest peaks, strengthen the armies of the
Christ-fearing Georgian nation by thy prayers, and defeat the Muslim armies with
thy right hand. Intercede with Christ God to save our souls!
Saint Ketevan - September 13th
Troparia
Being wounded by divine zeal, thou didst receive many wounds and endure
multifarious tortures. With boldness having acquired the Kingdom of Heaven
instead of the transitory crown of a queen, O thrice-holy Ketevan, intercede
with Christ God to have mercy on our souls.
Thou didst renounce the transitory glory uniting thyself with
the Queen of Heaven and Earth, O Queen Ketevan, thou who didst suffer bodily for
thy bridegroom, intercede with Him for us thy servants, the Georgian
people.
