On January 27, Georgia celebrates Ninooba — St. Nino Day (Feast of St.). Nino), which brought Christianity to Georgia. The Georgian Orthodox Church remembers Saint Nino twice a year: January 27, the day of her death, and June 1 — on the day of her coming to Georgia.
In the capital of Georgia alone, there are five churches erected in honor of St. Nino, in which the Ninooba holiday is celebrated especially solemnly. Ceremonial services on this day are also held in all other Orthodox churches in the country.
In Tbilisi, in the Zion Cathedral of the Assumption of the Mother of God, a cross made of grapevine is kept, entwined with the hair of St. Nino.
In Georgia, Saint Nino is revered as the enlightener and heavenly patroness of Georgia. Every summer, a large group of children, teenagers and young people make a pilgrimage in the footsteps of the Equal-to-the-Apostles educator of Georgia. The route fully corresponds to the route of St. Nino after her arrival in Georgia.
