Orthodox Icon of The Four Holy Georgian Queens

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.
